Centro de Interpretación de la Muralla Púnica
David Ymbernón Poesía Visual Culinaria (10pm and 11.30pm)
Performance.
The interpretation centre - Centro de Interpretación de la Muralla Púnica (The Punic Wall Interpretation
Centre) deals with safeguarding the remains of the ancient Carthaginian wall which encircled the city and are
one of the rare remains of Punic archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula.
Near the wall, there is the crypt which is the only remains that are left from the chapel of San José, and dates
from the 16th to the 19th century.
The excavations of these two archaeological sites took place in 1987 and their development in 2003.
During the Museum Night, Ymbernón will tell how, as a child, he was intoxicated by drinking a potion he
prepared carefully. It was a hint of what would happen years later with "Bona Cuina” (Premio Nacional de
Acciones Artística 1999), later to be known as "Poesía Visual Culinaria": it consists of cooking a dish and from
an egg, you get a salad, from a banana you get a sausage, etc.

Concert.
This castle was built in the thirteenth century at the request of King Alfonso X the Wise, because it is located in
a place that was a strategic place in the city until the second half of the eighteenth century, when it was
abandoned. In 2003, after suffering a series of transformations, the Torre del Homenaje was restored and
rehabilitated by Cartagena Port of Cultures to host the Interpretation Centre of the History of Cartagena. In
2010, Cartagena, Cartagena Port of Cultures restored some parts of the castle. These parts are architectural
extensions dating from the late seventeenth century and early eighteenth century. This space is used to
explain the medieval city, and covers the period of the Muslim rule and the period of the Christian Reconquest
(La reconquista) conducted by Prince Alfonso of Castile, who will be later on known as King Alfonso X the
Wise.
