ICOMOS visits the Tower Cajasol

This coming Monday, representatives of ICOMOS ( International Council on Monuments and Sites ) Sevilla visit again to verify that indeed, the works of the Tower controversy have not stopped Cajasol . And, therefore, that their promoters (Cajasol and City Hall) and indulgent (Junta de Andalucía) has ignored the UNESCO, which called it one year ago discussed the matter at the meeting that the World Heritage Committee held in our city, as adopted its final decision in this regard.

Recordemos que está en juego que Sevilla entre en la muy poco honrosa Lista de Patrimonio Mundial en Peligro de la UNESCO ; lo que se decidirá en la reunión que dicho Comité mantendrá en Brasilia entre el 25 de julio y el 3 de agosto . Y que ICOMOS (con sus más de 7000 especialistas), que ya hizo un informe totalmente negativo contra la torre, es la asesora a la UNESCO en materia de patrimonio...

También este lunes nos visitará una representación de la World Monuments Fund , una prestigiosa fundación de defensa del patrimonio mundial, que ya incluyó Seville in its "black list" World Monuments Watch , places the planet in grave danger of destruction or looting of assets.
