The project emerged after the discovery of the archaeological remains by the research team from the
University of Cádiz, led by Rafael Jiménez-Camino and Darío Bernal, preventing the site from being replaced
by a residential tower similar to the adjacent development

Despite its historical significance, the archaeological site remained isolated behind a perimeter wall,
disconnected from the city and accessed only through a narrow secondary street with little public presence.
At the same time, the adjacent Acacias Park had become a neglected and underused public space with little
relationship to the surrounding neighbourhood

The proposal completely reverses the logic of access and urban integration.Rather than treating the site as an isolated archaeological enclosure, the intervention removes the existing
wall and transforms the park into the main entrance and public interface of the project, while San Nicolás
Street becomes a secondary technical access for archaeological maintenance and operational use.

This strategic inversion integrates the archaeological site into the daily life of the park, allowing heritage,
landscape and public space to operate as a single civic system capable of revitalising the surrounding urban
environment
