The project constitutes the first phase of a set of actions to facilitate the conservation of Roman and Arabic
The Mayor of Murcia, Miguel Ángel Cámara Botía, accompanied by Minister of Culture, Pedro Alberto Cruz, and the Councillor for Tourism, Maria Isabel Valcarcel, this morning visited the fitting of the future Visitor Center San Cayetano, a facility that will value the splendid historical legacy that the city remains in the parish.
Murcia Tourist Consortium Crossroads is the promoter of this project, which is conditioned by the archaeological remains located near the church of San Cayetano to be visited, turning the square into a new Visitor Center.
The work has a budget of 2,278,300 euros and a lead time of 2 years.
The investment is provided by the Murcia Tourist Consortium Crossroads.
At present, the work has already entered its final stretch then just conditioning the building before its launch.
The Visitor Center will provide support to expose the parts that have been resulted from the various archaeological excavations, to present the history of the valley and orchards of Murcia, palaces and walled enclosures and host their own cultural activities of such centers.
The building will be generated around the Plaza de la Ermita de San Cayetano, which embraces her in value.
Beside the shrine is located about archaeological remains of Roman road that linked Cartagena Fortuna.
This location has great archaeological interest because it is more intuited the presence of Roman and Arabic (XI).
The Visitor Center creates an area around the square up from the floor to allow views of the Castle and the Vega de Murcia, and to protect and cover the remains of the Roman road, and to mark the entrances to the building.
The ground floor is seen as a continuation of the pavement of the plaza into the building and is essentially open, causing a steady stream to the outside.
Meanwhile, the first floor appears as an entirely autonomous landing on the square and is shown as a separate object.
On the ground floor there is the proper service program this type of building: access control, shop, screening room, bar and cafeteria, etc.
All these spaces are in continuity with the outer courtyard, with closings practices that allow this plant to be fully open to the Plaza.
On the first floor takes place throughout the exhibition program itself: Roman room, living first settlements, Arab room, the garden room and room for future action (consolidation, accessibility and restoration of the castle of Monteagudo.)
It also plans to reserve a space for facilities, terrace and staff offices.
In the center of interpretation, the public will have a first contact with the history of the city and its various historical episodes.
Visitors can make the building a historical-geographical thanks to the elements around which develop the center (the remains of the Roman road, Castillo de Monteagudo, Vega de Murcia ...).
