Guantanamo.- In honor of Cuban Culture Day, the staff at the Alex Urquiola Marrero Museum in El Salvador undertook a significant repair and maintenance initiative. The project involved cleaning plaques, monuments, and commemorative structures, extending into the heart of the Turquino Plan, thereby emphasizing the importance of preserving local history.
This initiative not only aims to enhance the aesthetic appeal of public spaces but also seeks to honor the memory of important figures and events in the town’s history.
Museum officials reported that the work includes restoring inscriptions, removing invasive plants, and assessing the structural integrity of various monuments, ensuring they remain dignified symbols of local heritage.
The museum’s efforts reach beyond urban areas, extending into the mountains where additional monuments require care. Collaborating with other organizations and local volunteers, the museum staff emphasizes that preserving these historical assets is vital for maintaining community identity and fostering a connection to the past.
Through these actions, El Salvador actively participates in Cuban Culture Week, demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding and celebrating its rich heritage.
