Can
Botino (or Can Montero, or Casa Fonne) was one of the most emblematic
buildings in Ibiza town and in Dalt Vila (Ibiza’s Old Town) from
many points of view (historical, architectural, cultural, social ones).
Together with other constructions in Ibiza, it forms part of the World’s
Heritage List.
The Ibiza
Consortium for the World`s Heritage List –integrated by the local Town
Council and the Island’s Council- is carrying out some works which are
about to be completed; in my opinion, these works break the local rules and
plans as well as some regional and state ones, but they specially break the
Agreement for Protection of the World’s Heritage List of the UNESCO.
This Agreement must be observed by the states which have some of their Heritage
included in the World’s Heritage List.
I reported
the works to the Town Council and the Council of Ibiza and Formentera when
they still had time to reorient them, but I did not achieve this aim.
Later I reported them to the ICOMOS and to the Ministry of Culture
and I have reiterated the initial reports.
Up to
now I have achieved nothing, except for the report issued by ICOMOS after
their visit in October 2004. This report seems to have been critical
of the works; it was sent to the Director of The Heritage Centre of the
UNESCO, who has not published it, despite having been requested
The aim of the present web page is to spread this inexplicable situation and to ask for your collaboration and support to my reports in order to reorient this affair as well as to avoid the repetition of such cases.
Thank you
