With the commitment to preserve the country's historical and cultural heritage, a technical deployment began in the parish of Santa Rosalía in Caracas to carry out the comprehensive restoration of the Joaquín Crespo Mausoleum, located in the General Cemetery of the South, according to the Venezolana de Televisión website.

The intervention is part of the projects planned by the Venezuela Renace Plan implemented by the National Executive after the effects generated by the double earthquake in this enclosure built at the end of the 19th century, where a team composed of more than 30 specialists performs meticulous tasks to preserve its architectural design and protect structural integrity against the wear and tear of time.

The restoration teams reshaped and conditioned the edges and threads of the columns, to recover the original geometry of their elements.

In addition, the crews removed the paint from the access bars to the crypt and prepared the metal surfaces to apply new coatings.

The plan also includes the rehabilitation of the external facades, the side towers and the emblematic chapel, which will protect the building against the wear and tear of time.
