The councilman of Culture of the City of Totana, Ana Belén García, explained that the paintings, which stand out for their artistic quality and chromaticism, have appeared when he was biting the walls of two floors of the facility known as "The House of Butler. "
In the two plants has appeared a mural, which according to EAM technical elements, date from the eighteenth century and can be contemporary or performed by the same author who brought out the mural inside the chapel.
Thus, as indicated by the council, the mural, on the first floor, iconography "The Massacre of the Innocents" and the second "Jesus of Nazareth."
García López has been applied, which, as evidenced by the paintings found, it appeared that this was a single space and the possibility exists that this was the original access to the cave, and that in constructing the enlargement of the chapel, the entry is modified and since then enters the presbytery.
The mayor, along with the perpetrators and architects of the Ministry of Culture was moved to the place to see in situ the size of the pictures appeared, and to plan how you will further develop the work.
For the moment, as indicated García López, works in this area will be paralyzed for modifying the original project to restore and protect the mural conservation.
