On Monday, July 9, will take place the act of nomination of a street in the University Campus of the Muralla del Mar, which will be dedicated to the scientist and researcher and Daughter of Cartagena, María Cascales Angosto.
The simple act, in which there will be speeches and the commemorative plaque with the name of the street will be discovered, will be attended by the honoree and the mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, along with other members of the municipal Corporation, authorities of Academics, civilians and military, friends and family.
The street that will be named María Cascales Angosto is located next to the north facade of the Antigones building, today the Higher Technical School of Telecommunications Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT), which had no name until now.
The condition of Maria Cascales' Favorite Daughter, allowed the Local Government Board to adopt this nomination directly, in order to promote more names of women in the street of the City;
as they have also been the case of the Adoptive Daughter, Rosario Juaneda, to which also in September the name of a street will be placed in this same area.
The act will take place at 12:30.
