IU-v demands responsibilities for the work "badly done" in the last restoration of the Guevara Palace façade (25/05/2018)

The main façade of the Palacio de Guevara is again dressed with a new scaffolding, and the umpteenth restoration work is currently underway on one of the most singular and emblematic buildings of the historical, artistic and cultural heritage of Lorca

The property, declared in 2008 as an Asset of Cultural Interest with the category of monument, is, as stated in the decree of its declaration, "one of the most outstanding examples of the civil baroque of the Spanish Levante".

This cataloging contrasts, in the opinion of the mayor of IU-V Adoración Peñas, with the quality and effectiveness of the restorations to which the facade of the Palace has been subjected in recent years.

In the middle of the 20th century, the first intervention was carried out on the façade, which wanted to tackle the humidity problems of the building, replacing part of the basement of the building with a stone that was less porous than the original one.

It was a good intervention that contrasts with the last two.

Almost two decades ago the facade was subjected to a second intervention.

A company arrived from Cartagena limited to placing a scaffolding on the cover of the property, which remained for more than a year covering it without any work, so that in two days, some workers arrived from Cartagena gave him a coat of paint, and your company after collecting a bundle of the moment and it will go away.

But it is the last of the restorations, just three years ago, that motivates this initiative that IU-V will take to the Plenary next Monday.

A little more than three years ago, within the master plan of restoration of historical heritage of Lorca, a company in joint venture with another company, was awarded the restoration of the Palacio de Guevara with a budget of more than 587,000 €.

They did the work and took the money, says Peñas Adoration, and today, again, three years later that important façade returns to present pathologies such as the alveolization of the stone and the accelerated sandification of the same as a result of humidity, which they were not properly addressed in the process of restoration of the building.

Pathologies that are affecting significant elements of the ornamental iconography of the same and that have caused a new company to undertake restoration work on it.

The mayor of IU-V reports that more than two years ago she asked the municipal government of Lorca if she was aware of that deterioration, and if there was public technical supervision after the restoration work.

We then urged the PP government to demand responsibility from a company that has taken almost 600,000 euros for a job that leaves much to be desired and on which a repair would have to be demanded at its expense.

We were not wanted, or we did not know, to give an answer.

Now, when we meet again with a scaffolding hugging the façade of the Palace, we want to know if the company has been demanded that three years ago it charged for some kind of responsibility for a work that manifestly went wrong.
