This group has submitted to the City of Cartagena a claim requesting the extension of the Archaeological Area to Morería, in addition to urban planning protection shelters, Hill geographical identity as historic site and the remains of the Palace of Asdrubal.
Coordinator for the Defense of Windlass Hill and its surroundings has presented City of Cartagena, in the process of public presentation of the proposal to amend the Municipal land-use planning, allegations in order to prevent illegal dumps occur and construction of buildings in this historic hill.
From this group it is intended that the new municipal planning not assume urbanization, expansion and change in the layout of streets for the construction of new buildings that are foreseen in the so-called Special Plan of Management and Protection of Historic Area, but it rectifies and remove, once and forever, the destroyer commitment to this great archaeological site.
The Coordinator stated in his letter that "following recent findings that were discovered in the Moorish quarter and the publication of a study showing that it is carving made by the Carthaginians on the hill the Palace of Asdrubal itself, the area protected as archaeological site should be extended to the Morería Baja, the rear of the buildings of the Gates of Murcia and Calle San Fernando, to further expand the Archaeological Park, but giving priority scientific excavations and the valorization of the remains, not as was done in the top".
In defending its claims this association shows that "contrary to what some people want to see, it is impossible that can be preserved in basements visitables as broad monumental set that has several meters high above the street level Morería Baja ".
Therefore, and based on the Heritage Act, the Coordinator Pinwheel also calls for comprehensive protection with grade 1 of the five hills that identify Cartagena from time immemorial and conditioned its history, including its urban and social development since before Punic occupation.
This entity, in addition to brandish technical, historical and archaeological, legal and economic arguments for the City of Cartagena accept their requests, remember that what is involved is an old historical claim of citizenship demonstrated in numerous writings, protests and collected signatures made since 1998 and many of which have involved political parties now support the municipal government.
Therefore, from the Coordinadora Pinwheel confident that "once the hill is entirely municipal property and do not need to sell the land to continue digging as far as to say earlier policy makers, because the actions taken so far have basically done with funding from other government or private sponsorship, the mayor accept this request for or under its mandate or later can sell land in this area to private hands to prevent the historic opportunity to recover a single monumental space ".
Finally, the group stressed that "it is time that the mayor demonstrate with facts that are just in your hand, without spending a single euro or wait longer, he is willing to prevent may be someone who now or in the future destroy the heritage of Arx Asdrubalis. in addition, the municipal coffers would save the loss-making operation more expensive clearings what could be obtained from the sale of the plots resulting therefrom ".
