The long process undertaken in 1988 did not finish with the restoration of the theatre building and the porticus post scaenam: it also included the remains of the town; its appropriate maintenance and exhibition with educational and cultural purposes; and the construction of a museum and research centre dedicated to the excavation.

In addition to all work carried out on the Theatre, the prestigious architect, Rafael Moneo, has simultaneously been involved in work that includes:

. The adequacy, urbanization and landscaping of all external spaces behind the perimeter wall of the Theatre and a terraced platform that naturally extends towards the west slope of Cerro de la Concepción, a nearby hill. This space connects the medieval ruins and the Castillo de la Concepción (Conception Castle) and the Cathedral/Roman Theatre complex.

. Access and urbanization of whole area: of infrastructure, lighting, paving, and both road and pedestrian networks. The materials selected for this development are in keeping with the natural and historic landscapes. Thus, all the perimeter and public routes to the Roman Theatre are linked by town streets and green spaces.

. The Museum is another element central to the overall project. It has been created to exhibit artefacts uncovered during successive excavations. The Museum joins the Riquelme Palace and the Church of Santa Maria La Vieja to the Theatre complex: with the Theatre being the final and most important component in the complex. The construction comprises two buildings, joined by a corridor: the first one permits access from the Riquelme Palace and surrounds a yard or impluvium. On its different floors, it offers service rooms, such as the lobby, cafeteria, temporary show room, library, record and study room, offices and meeting rooms. The second building, located in General Ordoñez with a connecting terrace to the entrance of the Old Cathedral, will be designated permanent show rooms.

These show areas, illuminated by a sophisticated system of ceiling lights, are used as a framework to showcase excavated artefacts and will lead the visitor from the lowest quarter of the city to the interior of the Roman Theatre.

. The consolidation and socio-economic restoration of the various locales en route to the Theatre will help regenerate one of the neighbourhoods and restore one of the most emblematic monuments.
