"If the project is done, Alcazaba damage will be irreparable "

• Julian Garcia and Javier Teijeiro archaeologists and architects

• are responsible for a study that harshly criticizes the first phase of rehabilitation of this monument

"Remove items such as covering them with plaster Almohad seating is crazy"

They met at a conference and had much in common because they both had written books on the same subject: the bastion fortress of Badajoz. Of course, each in his field, and Julian Garcia Javier Teijeiro is an archaeologist and architect. Both believe they are disciplines that must work together and so they came together to help the Platform for Comprehensive Rehabilitation of the Alcazaba. A few months ago, had access to draft the first phase of the works that will run on the monument Almohad and after extensive study, its findings are very critical. Believe that such intervention would be an absurdity that would result in irretrievable loss of the most valuable of the Alcazaba.

- How does it feel to see the Alcazaba without rehabilitation?

TEIJEIRO -JAVIER: So very sad, but not limited to the Alcazaba is abandoned, also fortified bastions, all the historic fabric of the Old Town feel like we loaded ... It still keeps throwing money at silly things when we have a fort of San Cristobal that falls there. No one has criteria and improvise without serious study.

-always said that is the most important Alcazaba Spain ...
-JULIAN GARCIA: It is, but for me the important thing is that this is the Fortress of Badajoz, the rest is secondary. It's a sentimental value, rather than monumental.

"As an archaeologist, what is the biggest mistake of those who has complained in the first phase of rehabilitation?
-JG: (He thinks) It's hard to decide, but more serious is the removal of items without a previous study, the stalls that is plastered Almohad, ie the plug. It seems crazy and it seems anyone with a bit of sensitivity to the monument, which has a little attachment and affection to something that is an emblem for Badajoz.

"If plaster, is sunk.
-JG: I'm afraid so.

"In general, how valued the rehabilitation project?
-JT: The project made by these two architects to the Ministry of Culture is based on three important parts that we cast on the ground in our report. The first is the treatment of all the parapet of the wall between the car door and Alpéndiz. It is an evenly with prefabricated concrete slabs and steel railing 60x120, means you will lose all information that provides the parapet at the moment, because it has to rest, presumably Islamic, which will be lost if not done a study before. The second point is a whole series of new works for accessible Coracha door, is going to be a platform below the new concrete plant site run white tone, with two grand staircases. These two works will cost a fortune and attack from the aesthetic point of view of the monument. And third, put the condom all the canvas between the door and Alpéndiz cars plastered all, that is, covering it.

"Instead of that project, what you propose?
-JT: In our report we say that these three million should be raised from the sustainability and performance instead of mortar, plaster of many meters of cloth and all construction of new plant, our view is that action should be more sustainable and austere. You have to put that money into other things, not new works, but focus on three key concepts in this Alcazaba: restoration, consolidation and rehabilitation.

- Do you believe that the Platform can stop the project?
JT: Platform are people who do not charge for this work and defend very well the Alcazaba. The experience, however, has shown me that the city of Badajoz the most badly wanted to have been political. We demand to reconsider the project and the platform is used so, but we are in a society in which politicians do not have citizens' groups. There is money, the work is about to be awarded and I have no hope.
-JG: Undoubtedly, an archaeologist would prevent it. If had one in the project, would not support it.

- What advise the City Council now is doing the project in the second and third phase?
JG: To respect the law and go. When making a report, done by a multidisciplinary team and communicate. Not that everyone do their work separately and in the end there is a comprehensive rehabilitation project but several unconnected projects.
JT: My biggest advice is to take care of a serious scientific research laboratory specializing in archeology and architecture before tackling a project.

The Citadel will be arranged with concrete floors and steel rails


The Citadel will be arranged with concrete floors and steel rails


27/01/1910 - 00:08 - NATALIA REIGADA see the Ministry's project and rejects it for violating the monument

The first phase of the construction also removes a seventeenth-century staircase. Lack

little expected to begin rehabilitation of the Alcazaba de Badajoz. The Ministry of Housing, responsible for the first phase of work, and is on the table the budgets of companies that want to run this work. Nevertheless, the project remained a mystery, since there was transcended what arrangements would be undertaken between the car door and the Alpéndiz. The mystery faded yesterday as the Platform for Comprehensive Rehabilitation of the Citadel has been done A copy of the project that includes concrete floors, steel railings and a ladder eliminates the seventeenth century.

All these modifications do not like the platform consists of eighteen groups Badajoz and have called before starting the work, reviewed the project. His criticisms are based on a study conducted by archaeologist Julian Garcia Blanco and architect Javier Teijeiro Fuentes. These two professionals who work with the public platform on a voluntary basis, have studied the project of the Ministry during the last month and presented a number of objections to it. In its findings ensure that this action is an absurdity. "It will cause irreparable loss of many original features making it impossible to read historical, archaeological and construction of the monument. "

One point that receives the most criticism is the inclusion in the citadel of white concrete flooring and paving of the same material that will replace much of the original soil. In addition, the parapet, which now has different types of pavements of various ages, are covered with a uniform design of concrete slabs 60 by 120 centimeters. Again, this idea is rejected by the study of García Blanco and Teijeiro Fuentes. "We are also concerned that destroys a stone wall to replace support by a railing, "added Fran Gil, a spokesman for the Platform for Comprehensive Rehabilitation of the Alcazaba. The railing also be of steel, a modern material that contrast with the historic.

No archaeological study


What has most shocked the experts, however, is the lack of archaeological studies before starting the rehabilitation of this monument is considered the best example of Almohad architecture in the country. In their study explained that the budget for the first phase works is excessive. Specifically, this project is 1,200 meters wall, six towers and five gates that are badly deteriorated and has a budget of 2,780,000 euros.
For Garcia Blanco and Teijeiro Fuentes, expenditure and material execution of these works is excessive and request that part of the budget allocated to archaeological studies. For example, a comprehensive analysis Murari, because they claim that if not done before work could lose some of the richness of the monument. To Fran Gil, Badajoz is facing a key moment and can not conform. "After many years of waiting to fix this monument, we can not stay with what you want, this is definitive and it is important to have some common sense to give up the most important Alcazaba Spain."

In addition to the concrete, the handrails and the lack of archaeological studies, the experts also rejected the elimination of stairs to the car door. This access, which can be seen when entering the campus by car, seventeenth century which has great historical significance. The Housing Ministry's project replaced this element by a curved concrete staircase.

In order to stop all these changes, the Platform has sent the study to reject the project to all the authorities involved in rehabilitation. The Housing Ministry is in charge of the first phase, but the rehabilitation depends on an agreement between the Government of Extremadura, the City Council Badajoz and central administration.
For now, the mayor of Town Planning of the Consistory, Rodolfo Celestino, was the only one to respond to complaints from the public platform and welcome members of the same on 4 February. To Fran Gil, however, the only solution is an emergency meeting of the monitoring committee of the Alcazaba.

This body held its last meeting on 1 October at the Government Office. At this meeting, recalls Gil, attended by the Secretary of State for Housing and she pledged that the committee to appear periodically. "However, four months have passed and we know nothing. Promised to listen to the Platform and would seek consensus at the time of making the works to have the views of the city of Badajoz, "concluded the spokesman citizen.

Gil also asked to be the three administrations to commit themselves, as all are responsible for a project that qualifies as a great disappointment. "There can be bad because for Badajoz is too much at stake, this memorial will be our focus tourism."
