Lorca is
situated about 70 miles southwest
of San Javier Airport.
During the 18th century, a
number of baroque churches were
built in Lorca. Together with the
noble houses in the old town, which
are currently being restored, they
make up a decent set of historical
monuments.
As the medieval fortress, seen
left, is intended to be converted
into a state-run hotel, excavations
were carried out on site by way of
power shovels. Even after the
remains of a synagogue and a Jewish
ghetto were found near the
fortress, the work has been
continued, despite massive protests
by prominent archaeologists.
