They pave paradise and put up a parking lot.

What a shame. That happens when the mentally challenged make decisions.

Juan Wic, the mayor, who is responsible for the car park project, said he was happy to have kept one of his main election pledges. He said it was “essential for the commercial future of the square and city”

Thank god he got rid of that 2000+ year old architecture. What an eyesore that would have been.

“For some reason, the politicians here think it is more important to park their own cars. It simply does not make sense.”

Didn't we just hear something very similar last week about keeping illegals so congress would have well maintained golf courses?

Dead Italians don't vote, living Spaniards with cars do.

OK, I'd ask the burning question.

What would we learn from this site that already has not been discovered?

I certainly believe we should preserve ancient sites that would add to our fundamental knowledge of the Roman empire we don't know.

I find it sort of bizarre that people in 4,500 AD would find Tampa, Fl or any other city so interesting as to want to preserve it.

Ah, the Punic Curse! Roman civilization is defeated by the Philistines.

"The socialist council says that had it not dug up the main square, Plaza de Espana, to build the car park in 1998, the remains would never have been found. But it insists the town must press ahead with the new car park."

Simply barbaric. No other way to describe this travesty.

Can you not see the great value and pricelessness of a typical car park? A new car park is surely more valuable and satisfying than the old run of the mill, one of a kind lost city from the Roman Empire. /sarc

My reaction also. I'm sure they posted notice the ancient city would be destroyed, so anyone could object - In an unlit basement behind a door that said "beware of the leopard."

Thats how it is Spain.

If you have never been there, then you will have no idea how it is run.

My mother was attacked, raped and left for dead there in her home, in a village called Competa in Andalucia in 1996, at the age of 80, by some local animal that had been let out of jail early for a previous murder.

What did the Police/Guardia do about it. Zip. Local 'developer' moved in and took her land for a pittance to built a set of 'fincas' for tourists to buy.

Yup, I really like the Spanish way of life.

Not this means much, but I have several coins from different eras of the Roman Empire. Net value? About ten bucks.

The rest will be space for 299 cars.

Well, cars do need parking spaces. And if you've gone to one ancient Roman, "museum" you really don't need to see more. I mean, what's with all of those pots and urns and stuff?! Sheesh. Must be a slow news day.
