The investment made so far, although figures are not closed, is about 1.1 million euros. Investment in area of \u200b\u200bthe apse and the presbytery of the basilica, which has equipped these emblematic buildings of the temple with a beautiful roof and wood paneling, has been the most important work as the economic investment in the temple from that in 1920, with cessation of the shafts of the columns in these areas at various levels, which have been screed over several decades of small works. The current size of the area which will only be used for religious events temple include a heightening of the walls to give them a unique level from which you ran the current roof. However it has placed a separate element (concrete slab) that allows us to envision the height that is reached with the shafts of these columns, which were designed in the nineteenth century to support the vaults designed to complete both the apse as the ambulatory.
