The Municipal Government of Fulgencio Gil launches the contracting of the Coso de Sutullena works, which will be a new space for culture and leisure for Lorca (24/05/2019)

• To make possible the restoration, the Autonomous Community will invest more than 1.7 million euros, within the Master Plan for the Recovery of the Cultural Heritage of Lorca affected by the earthquakes of 2011.

The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has reported that the Governing Board of the City of Lorca approves this morning the start of the contract for the rehabilitation and value enhancement of the Coso de Sutullena, an emblematic project and called to become the space of leisure, culture and entertainment that Lorca we have been demanding for years, and which we will be able to enjoy in the heart of our city, just taking a walk and within the framework of our wonderful Alameda.

Its recovery is a fundamental pillar of the La Joya del Sureste project, a guide to the social, cultural and commercial revolution that we have undertaken in Lorca to take advantage of the unbeatable infrastructures that we have been able to build together after the earthquakes.

It is not a simple recovery, it is an ambitious project that aims to turn the Coso de Sutullena into a tool at the disposal of the cultural, social and leisure dynamization of our city.

The square is a symbol, it is a monument, but now it is going to be a multipurpose space that multiplies the cultural agenda and enriches initiatives of great value.

This new impulse is added to the contracting of the works to complete the Center for Fairs and Congresses, which is also approved today in the Governing Board, as well as financial aid granted by the Regional Government of Lorca Fernando López Miras for recovery of the Casino (1.4 million) and the restoration of the facades of the Sanctuary of the Virgen de las Huertas (162,856 euros), which saw the light this week.

According to the indications of the technicians, the damages caused by the earthquakes were numerous, so the reform will start by consolidation and recovery, adapting the space to the new cultural regulations and public spaces.

This will modernize the services and functions, relocating vomitories, improving and expanding the accesses and significantly increasing the comfort of the locations, both the layout and the box, making it a versatile, functional and very comfortable scenic space, even if it supposes a loss of capacity.

All this modernization will be done without affecting the aesthetics of the square, trying to make the appearance resemble as much as possible to its original state, for which the non-damaged elements will be reused.

But beyond the actions of all kinds that can accommodate, the Coso de Sutullena is going to stand out for its versatility, hosting up to 4 spaces of different sizes that can be used both for trade and for the hotel trade;

they can use the ring, which will increase its attractiveness, but will also facilitate its use by Lorca and the visit by tourists.

The access can be made directly from the outside with the particularity that the structure of the square itself will be used to increase the attractiveness of the premises, in which there will be a window that will lead directly to the alley.

They will also be connected to each other through a circular ring.

In the transformation it is intended to musealize part of the coso, offering the visit to the chapel or the infirmary, among other spaces of value.

There will also be a walkway on the toriles so that fans can go to see the horses that will be bullied before the bullfight.

The Bullfighting Club of Lorca will also have a permanent location for the development of its activities and meetings.

Among the improvements we must highlight the security and accessibility measures, the dressing rooms and the preparation of all relevant technological systems for the realization of musical, cultural or sporting events.
