The City Council of Alcantarilla is carrying out improvement works and small repairs in the Plenary Hall in order to take advantage of the month of August, in which no Plenary sessions are held, to review this municipal installation and make it available for September.
The Councilor for Organization and Public Procurement, Francisca Terol, checked the progress of the works that consist of a review of the painting and the revision of the dome to verify that there are no leaks due to the rains.
The frescoes of the dome of the Plenary Hall are the work of the sewer painter Pascual Ayala, already deceased, with motifs of landscapes and monuments of the Region of Murcia because he wanted to make a small tribute to the populations of the Region.
The paintings date from 1986 and 1987. In May 1987 they were inaugurated and the ceiling was the only thing that did not get to be touched up in the total reconstruction and expansion that was carried out in the City Council between October 1988 and November 1992. The structure of the current building dates from 1945.
In the frescoes of the Plenary Hall, you can see, at the head of the presidential table, the book of the Spanish Constitution and, following the clockwise, the Ferris Wheel of Alcantarilla, the monument to the Heroes of Cavite and the facade of the City Hall of Cartagena, the tower and Cathedral of Murcia, the facade of the Palace of Guevara in Lorca, the facade of the City Hall of Alcantarilla, the Mar Menor with Cabo de Palos and La Manga, the Azud or Contraparada, where the most were born important ditches of the Murcian orchard, in Javalí Nuevo;
the Basilica of the Purísima de Yecla, the Castle and Sanctuary of La Veracruz de Caravaca de la Cruz, and the house of Cayitas de Alcantarilla, currently the Municipal Historical Archive.
