This intervention is part of the new Valencian Heritage Recovery Plan, which seeks to rescue buildings classified as Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC) or Assets of Local Relevance. The aid will help stop the deterioration of a space considered one of the municipality's greatest heritage assets and a fundamental testimony to Valencian religious architecture of the era.
“"To restore immovable assets that provide identity to the territory and bring us closer to our history."
The vice-president of the Provincial Council emphasized that the objective of these investments is to recover the identity of the towns. She added that this heritage support program is a vital tool for municipalities, which had been interrupted for the past eight years and is now being resumed to prevent historically valuable buildings from falling into oblivion or irreversible degradation.
“"An example of territorial justice, of investing in our history respecting the past and looking towards the future, with projects that generate employment, create tourism, and give our people a reason to stay and live in their towns."
For his part, the president of the Provincial Council stressed that these actions are not mere ornamental interventions, but rather part of a strategy to boost the local economy. According to the president, it is about investing in history, generating employment and tourism, and encouraging people to stay and live in their towns.
The financing mechanism established by the Provincial Council ensures that local councils can undertake the works with solvency, as 75% of the granted aid will be paid upon the award of the works. This measure is especially relevant for projects such as the Carmelite cloister, where the investment exceeds 100,000 euros and requires rigorous technical planning to preserve the original elements of the 18th-century structure.
