How Can We Have Free Kates Playground

Evaluation of the Platform to the early work of rehabilitation of the Fort


Platform for Comprehensive Rehabilitation of the Alcazaba de Badajoz, once the first few weeks that have passed since the beginning of the reclamation works of the main monument Badajoz, want to make public its assessment of these early works:

1 .- First, try and appreciate the interest shown to this platform by the Ministry of Development, and in particular the invitation to visit the works yesterday and the meeting of the Monitoring Committee in order to assess allegations made by the Platform.

2 .- The beginning of the work and discoveries come to agree with the approach of this platform, as demonstrated both the historical value of the car door step, with the remains Almohad, and the inappropriateness of an aggressive drainage system such as that posed by the project, having appeared drains original full agreement with the proposal made in their submissions by the Platform.

3 .- We welcome, therefore, already taken into consideration two of the allegations made, and consequently the project has decided to remove both the demolition of the car door step as raised drains through the wall .

4 .- We show our surprise at the statements made Yesterday both the site visit and the meeting of the Monitoring Committee, on which is currently developing muraria reading of the paintings of the Fortress. The need for Murari and stratigraphic study before the intervention was one of the claims made by this platform, and in previous meetings had been expressed by the Junta de Extremadura the existence of this study, which therefore implies an obvious contradiction. 5 .-

continue to pursue the remaining claims which have not yet been studied and they are:

- Do not remove the existing flooring parapet, already integrated in perfect condition with original parts and replaced by a new white concrete monument with the highly impressive.

- not down the side walls of the parapet to be replaced by a steel handrail, as it is in many cases and other original elements of renovations made over centuries can not separate the layers added to the original without damaging the monument.

- In the area where the parapet is not paved floor, find the most appropriate and inclusive in terms of materials and treatment to be applied, avoiding the use of concrete slabs and metal railings that will impact the environment and the rest the monument.

- No concreting but archaeological studies and to access appropriate treatment within the Gateway of Corax.

6 .- We ask that the work is appropriate follow-up by the Archaeological Area Office Integrated Rehabilitation Badajoz, as guarantor of the adequacy of public involvement in the Monument.

7 .- We demand that the next tender operated by the City Council for the drafting of the second phase will involve the complete rehabilitation of the Citadel, it is envisaged:

- The archaeological study of the entire venue, both internally and externally, with the enhancement of all traces that appear.

- expressly prohibiting the possibility of lifting any construction of new plant, particularly in the vicinity of the Church of the Consolation and the Chapel of the Rosary.

- Recovery of sentry walk around the parapet of the wall, without interruption.

- The landscaping and enhancement of the slopes of the Citadel and its connection to the Parc de la Legion .
