The intervention, driven by a private company, has a total investment that exceeds 1.3 million euros.

The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has reported that the City Council, through the Urban Planning Area, has granted a Construction Execution License for the restoration of the North and East Bays of the Cloister of the Church of Carmen.

The current intervention entails the execution of the rest of the actions aimed at the integral restoration of both the Este corridor (owned by the applicant merchant and reserved for tertiary use) and the North Crujía.
The latter is attached to the church of Carmen, with use for equipment, and will become municipal ownership once restored.
We are talking about a property that presents an advanced degree of deterioration, so that its recovery will constitute a notable advance, constituting the building resulting in a valuable resource for the municipal heritage.
The main objective is the formal recovery of the property, documenting and valuing the work with a double objective: on the one hand to recover the northern bay almost completely collapsed, and on the other hand, to repair and resolve the damage caused by earthquakes and floods in the property , through the consolidation and complete restoration of the facades, including carpentry, so that it recovers the original appearance that it had, besides consolidating its stability and security.
In the 23rd meeting of the Commission of the Master Plan held on 22nd November, the granting of a subsidy to the commercial developer of the project was approved for the amount of € 750,000 for the rehabilitation of the east panda of the Terciary Cloister, conditional on the recovery of the demolished part of municipal ownership, resulting in a total investment budget by the promoter of € 1,353,556.
A term of execution of works planned in 9 months is defined.
When the works are finished the City Council will receive all the part attached to the Church of Carmen fully rehabilitated and refurbished.
This important part of the equipment is planned to be handed over to the Brotherhood of the Holy Christ of Forgiveness, Paso Morado, in order to be able to complete their installations that they intend to dedicate to a museum performance.
It should be emphasized that the execution of these works will also allow opening the existing interior plaza.
