The intervention, scheduled to begin next May 19, will address both the sculpture and its base, which currently show various markings and signs of wear. The initiative aims to restore the monument to its original condition and preserve its cultural value.
The restoration work will include chemical and mechanical cleaning to remove concretions and the red graffiti covering the front area, as well as paint residues on the pedestal. Additionally, mortar will be replaced, green oxidations typical of bronze will be removed, and chromatic reintegration will be performed in necessary areas.
Vandalism and neglect are taking their toll on the monument to Santa Ángela de la Cruz in Cádiz.
The company Ágora. Conservación del patrimonio will be responsible for carrying out these conservation tasks. The monument was erected to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the arrival of the Sisters of the Cross in Cádiz and honors the founder of this congregation, known for her dedication to those in need.
The statue depicts Santa Ángela de la Cruz standing, dressed in her characteristic habit, symbolizing her humility and commitment to serving others.
