The one who would believe, alas, my soldiers, you were brought here only to battle in this city of Qart-Hadast, will make more effort to see your fatigue and work than the real benefit of this undertaking. The truth is that you who fight for the walls of a single city shall, by conquering it, conquer all Spain
P.C. Scipio 211 B.C.

 

There is a standing comment in dramaturgy that anyone can write the first act and it is easy to transport these words into the world of architects.

 

This Project would like to find a way how to reach the top of one of the five hills on which the old Cartago-nova is located. However, it continues to fight red tape, implementing the administrative procedures needed to incorporate new elements into the intervention, such as the caves, ceilings and edifices.

 

A project like this one, described in various acts, is available, and why not?, for an analysis using universal dramatic structure.
