| Summary: | [EN] Cave-Mine Victoria belongs to a more than 3 km long karst system. It holds a Quaternary fill highly rich in vertebrates, some of which were decribed there for the first time. Mining activity affected this site and allowed its discovery, thus enriching the natural heritage with the area unique history and culture. This has led to the legal protection of the site as Cultural Interest (BIC). Despite that natural and cultural richness, no heritage quantitative assessment publication has been done so far. There is a lack of publications objectively explaining the criteria that value the asset and allowing a minimum analysis or diagnosis of the more relevant scientific aspects in order to manage the site subsequently. Thanks to both, the region of Murcia economic aids for archaeological and palaeontological heritage research and intervention, and the joint financing from the City Council of Cartagena, the Cidaris Foundation has worked, for the first time, to enhance the knowledge and management of the cave heritage values. The results of the scientific assessment (Medium-high to High) are presented here, where its meaning is discussed and compared with other Spanish Geosites. |
