Since the building will offer a spectacular panoramic view over the castle of Monteagudo and Vega de Murcia
The work of recovering the archaeological remains of San Cayetano, which when completed are called to be a tourist attraction claims are part of a set of interventions that seek to facilitate access to the castle of Monteagudo.
The Mayor, Miguel Ángel Cámara, accompanied by the Councillor of Tourism, Maria Isabel Valcarcel, visited the works, which began last year and completed, if no unforeseen circumstances, during the first half of 2010.
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, performed by project architect Andrés Cánovas, has a budget of 2.8 million euros and the total area of intervention is of 3.127 m2.
Today is completed the building structure, including interior and wiring, and is pending end of the facade and exterior urban management and recovery areas of archaeological remains and the environment.
The purpose of the Visitor Center is the exhibition of pieces that have been resulted from the archaeological excavations, to present the story of the first settlers and their cultures Argaric, Romans and Arabs, as well as hosting cultural activities typical of such centers .
The building is built 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, the recent discovery, linking Cartagena Fortuna.
This location has great archaeological interest because it senses the presence of more Arab and Roman remains (S XI) and the subsequent emergence of four cabins Argaric.
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 and terrace.
