plundering of CITY COUNCIL AND BOARD CÁCERES EXTREMADURA MONUMENTAL CITY OF CACERES
All we have witnessed the commitment of the City Council and the Board for getting the owners of the restaurant Atrios, could build a hotel in the Monumental City, where in principle had a horrible project completely transformed the building from the street of Los Condes, together with other located adjacent to the Plaza de San Mateo. absurdity that was a unanimous rejection of those who saw it.
heard the protests of citizens went to work and presented a design that should have been rejected unanimously by all advisory bodies and authorities to be approved, but was not well. It was not possible to authorize the hotel they tried, but the politicians with vested interests as opposed to citizens and to pave all this, they changed the rules and then it was possible.
should be remembered that the building of the street of the Counts 2 is owned by the Junta de Extremadura and the January 25, 2005 the Governing Council Extremadura Board authorizes the Company Industrial Development Extremadura (SOFIEX) to finance 49% of total investment hotel project (9.5 million euros) over the transfer of property located on a plot adjacent (Piazza San Mateo, street and street Condes Olmos).
And what have they done?
the report of ICOMOS ( INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF MONUMENTS AND SITES) in its conclusions says
"The completion of the new hotel is the transformation radical of the built protected plots on which it is built. The interiors of listed historic buildings, and both required to be preserved, have been destroyed and instead has architecture been replaced by a new building, completely outside of the type and character initial. Al same time have distorted their facades, roofs have been changed traditional by a terrace and has become the unit of composition and historical environmental relationship with public buildings and spaces that shape their environment. Buildings and spaces that were a unique urban landscape, consolidated and harmonized, the bearer of aesthetic and cultural values \u200b\u200b also protected.
This leads to the loss irreparable destruction (spoliation) of heritage values \u200b\u200b (type, volume, structure, architectural design, character, spatial, significance history and citizenship, etc..) and therefore the authenticity and integrity of some old buildings protected historic Joint Cáceres, inscribed by outstanding universal value in List of World Heritage.
We can say that there has been a serious flaw in the proposed initial approach change of use radical, which leads to a new building type in some old buildings without regard to the obligation , by law, to preserve the existing cultural values \u200b\u200bin all its authenticity and integrity.
Moreover, the procedure anomalous PEPRPACC specific amendment to allow hotel construction in the form that has been done, contrary to all practices of conservation and restoration of historic, according to the principles set out by UNESCO and state regulations, state and local historical heritage, and provides an added gravity to leave open the possibility, if not remedied , that in other points of historic Cáceres act in the same way.
Therefore:
a. It reminds the City of Cáceres, Extremadura Board and the Government of Spain constitutional duty, each according to his competence, to ensure the preservation of heritage (Articles 46, 96 and 149.28) and the obligation to comply with the rules derived from the Convention World Heritage and the "Guidelines for the Implementation the World Heritage Convention."
