The PSOE claims in the Plenary Session of the City of Lorca the cleaning of the Rojano Tower (28/11/2018)

The Torre Rojano, watchtower of the old wall in front of the Pósito, has been completely abandoned for years.

"460,000 euros of public money invested for the government team to abandon this construction to the point that it is serving as a chicken coop"

The councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, María Antonia García Jiménez has demanded the cleanup of the Rojano tower, historic construction that is on the street that receives the same name, and one of the towers of the old wall of the Islamic Madina of Lorca, built in the Almohad period, at the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th.

During the last plenary session, the Municipal Socialist Group highlighted the lamentable state that has been present for years this fundamental piece of Lorca historical heritage "completely abandoned."

García Jiménez urged the Mayor to undertake immediate actions to improve the conservation of this construction and clean up its surroundings.

It is not the first time that the PSOE have denounced the poor state of this construction, and that they are asking for it to be cleaned up.

On September 19, the Municipal Socialist Group presented at the request of residents and groups of the city a request for action, addressed to the Mayor, on the Rojano Tower, which showed that both the environment and the tower itself " they are in the right conditions, in terms of conservation and cleanliness, that this fundamental part of the medieval history of Lorca deserve. "

In addition, he warns, the situation of neglect and abandonment that presents this construction reaches the point that one of its doors is "open" and its interior, as can be seen at a glance, serves as an irregular storage place of " caged animals. "

"460,000 euros of public investment, which is what cost the restoration project of the Wall, including Torre Rojano, so that it ends up serving as a private henhouse".

"It is a shame that this fundamental part of the medieval history of our city, is in such conditions, and even more so after it was restored through the rehabilitation project of the Medieval Wall of Lorca," says the mayor.

Therefore, the PSOE took advantage of the celebration of the ordinary plenary session this month to request actions aimed at improving, cleaning and cleaning the environment and the Tower itself, as well as measures in defense and conservation of historical heritage.

The government team, following this request, undertook to adopt measures in accordance with the request, although from the PSOE warn that they will remain "very vigilant" to enforce what was agreed during the Plenary.
