Restoration program shows results at Rosia Montana
"Mining operations have been conducted in Rosia Montana for over 2000 years. This exhibition and the museum which will contain it are a testimony of the past, the present and, hopefully, the future of our locality. This is how we want to see the entire center, at some point in the future!" said Eugen Furdui, the Mayor of Rosia Montana.
The restored building is located in the town's central square, at number 325, and is an integral part of the central architectonic front consisting of houses more than 100 years old. The ÒHouse at 325,Ó as it is known locally, dates back to 1874 and, according to the emblem on its facade, it was initially a pharmacy. It became the property of RMGC in 2003. The building was rebuilt using original materials but also received modern improvements such as bathrooms and centralized heating system. The restoration budget amounts to around 150,000 Euro, to which future maintenance and operational costs will be added.
RMGC said it would allocate a total budget of up to 45 million USD to restoring and preserving the cultural patrimony in Rosia Montana, of which 11 million USD have already been provided to the research teams. The project includes the full restoration of the historical center of Rosia Montana, the Mining Museum, restoration of the Catalina-Monulesti Gallery and the funeral monument at Tau Gauri, in situ preservation of Roman vestiges in Dealul Carpeni and Piatra Corbului, as well as organizing integrated tourist areas of all protected areas.
Dr. Paul Damian, coordinator of the Alburnus Maior National Research Program and deputy scientific manager with the National History Museum of Romania, emphasized in a recent open letter that without this research program, representing "the most complex archaeological research ever conducted in Romania,Ó the patrimony at Rosia Montana would have remained insufficiently known. ÒWe have been surprised to notice the easiness and ineptness with which public debates are generated about the patrimony at Rosia Montana, without minimal efforts to invite to such debates the scientists who have worked on site for six years and have made huge contributions to the archaeological discoveries in the area. In fact, these are the only experts who have ever studied that area in detail and we owe them what we now know about the archaeological patrimony at Rosia Montana,Ó Paul Damian said in his open letter.
