With more than a year behind the initial forecast, the Santa Cruz Charter Palace It will reopen its doors next week. It will do so as a tourist information point once the first phase of the rehabilitation work of this building is finished, the last one from the 18th century that exists in Santa Cruz. The appearance of a cistern inside, the pandemic or the delays with the door of one of the accesses, which the insular area of Heritage objected to, has been delaying a work whose completion was scheduled for the summer of last year.
The mayor of the city, José Manuel Bermúdez, valued the reopening of the Carta palace as “very good news for Santa Cruz, and the result of work and commitment in recent years to carry out a project that has suffered some vicissitudes and that we have finally managed to push. This is good news, because it allows us to recover a historic building. It is part of a large project to recover historical spaces (Masonic temple, Viera and Clavijo…) that totals more than 30 million”.
“In addition, it will allow us to open the largest tourist information point, through which the thousands of visitors who come to Santa Cruz every day will be able to pass, and in the future it will house a large museum on the history of the capital, something that adds value to the city’s museum offer”, he added.
The project has managed to make it accessible to personnel with reduced mobility, solving the difficulties with innovative and cutting-edge technology in Spain, such as the placement of a lifting platform outside to facilitate accessibility.
