Francisco Jodar: "this ideal city to host this Heritage Youth Forum. And it is, above all, because nowhere in the world can you find asset recovery process as being carried out Lorca".
The Mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, by the Councillor for Culture in the city of our city, Sandra Martinez, and advisory member of the Department of Fine Arts and Cultural Heritage, Maria Victoria Sanchez, inaugurated this morning at the Campus City College of the V edition of "Heritage Youth Forum"
The mayor pointed out that over the past two years since Lorca suffered the wrath of two earthquakes, the Sun City has hosted numerous meetings that meet organizers solidarity and the desire to make clear the wholehearted support recovery our town.
Lorca today converge on two important heritage assets.
On one hand the cultural heritage study for all participants.
And secondly, which I believe is our most important asset: youth.
Through this forum there is a communication between past and future.
Cultural heritage is the legacy that the men and women of today have received from our ancestors.
Thanks to heritage, thanks to each historic ashlar, shake hands with our yesterday.
With the heritage study we can better understand the steps taken by history to reach the present moment.
Francisco Jodar explained that Lorca is a city with a huge heritage.
This is not coincidental.
Our Heritage responds to the glorious history of this land southeast which has hosted the greatest civilizations.
All left their mark on Lorca cultural testimonies as we speak with different voices through different languages.
During these days the participants in the meeting will have the opportunity to see the immense cultural heritage Lorca.
Lorca currently is in the process of recovery, which can be seen by walking our streets.
The first priority in this process is the reconstruction of the houses because of the earthquakes had to be demolished.
The Mayor has stated that "we can not leave aside the enormous cultural heritage recovery Lorca. We can not do by representing this group of monuments for tourism. But above all, we can not do it because our conscience condemn us to neglect so precious inheritance. To articulate the rehabilitation process is launched the Recovery Plan for the Cultural Heritage of Lorca. Through this Plan, which this afternoon will be starring in the Round Table as part of programming Forum Progress is being made in cultural recovery has already offered fruits as important as the restoration of the Church of San Mateo, San Francisco, the Porche de San Antonio, gate dating from medieval times, some of the medieval walls, the Tower of the Spur Lorca Castle, the Museum of Embroidery White Pass and the Palacio de Guevara, and other very important ongoing reconstructions such as the Convent of the Poor Clares, the Capilla del Rosario, the former collegiate church of St. Patrick, James and the Church del Carmen, to name just a few of the most significant examples.
