The project will have to give the place a new image by offering itself as a symbol of strong recognition. Exhibition halls and classrooms for cataloging will be part of a complex designed for the community where outdoor green areas will be animated by citizens and tourists throughout the day. A building that knows how to enhance history and tradition by becoming an imaginary union between the eras.
