The Civic Platform for the Conservation of Archaeological Heritage of San Esteban has filed with the city of Murcia and the Directorate General of Fine Arts and Cultural Assets of the Region a detailed report that sharply questioned the legality of proposed specifications for conservation works and temporary protection from the Arab remains found in the Garden of San Esteban.

In a brief filed this week, the platform ensures that the written project does not meet the guidelines of the specification and its contents, and should be executed, breach a number of articles of Law 4 / 2007 of March 16, Cultural Heritage Community of Murcia.

Among the reasons that Civic Platform claims to challenge, is the fact that the draft Building Villegas SL, signed by Pilar Vallalta archaeologist, proposes a series of archaeological surveys that are unjustified and are not appropriate for the protection of the remains, if unnecessary destruction of an important part of this unique archaeological site.

The Platform says that, if carried out such surveys, would be a new attempt to plunder, like the one attempted to carry out last December, with the partial removal of a wall of one of the palaces, in which some were active some of the people who now fall to work in cases of conservation work.

The experts consulted archaeologists indicate that the gravel and gravel, materials they try to fill the reservoir until the final excavation proceed are highly corrosive and can be harmful to the wreckage, while another material such as sand cause less damage.

Within the Platform has also caused surprise to the City Council has written numerous misspellings and inaccuracies, such as confusion in identifying the palaces that make up the set.

This is further evidence of haste and lack of professionalism in decision-making, in which the municipality keeps falling Murcia.

The Platform, alternatively, has proposed to dispose of the proposal signed by Pilar Vallalta and covering the site with a roofing system that allows the continuation of the necessary excavation and consolidation of the site, an important relic of our past.
