The Valencia Provincial Council will allocate €16.2 million for the restoration of 45 heritage sites in the province, after increasing the initial plan by €5 million to include 15 projects that had been left out.

The Valencia Provincial Council has approved a credit modification to increase its Heritage Plan by €5 million, bringing the total investment to €16.2 million. This decision will allow for the funding of 15 restoration projects that were excluded from the first call due to budget constraints. The actions will focus on 45 Sites of Cultural Interest or Local Relevance across the province's municipalities.
Among the new additions, several projects in the l'Horta region stand out. The rehabilitation of the old municipal market in Burjassot to convert it into a multipurpose space will be funded with €370,000. The facades of the Culture House in Rafelbunyol (€280,000) will also be restored, and the roof of Casa Bou in Rocafort (€246,000) will be addressed.
These new interventions are in addition to the 30 initiatives already approved initially, which represented an investment of €11.3 million. These include the restoration of the Palacio de la Señoría in Alfara del Patriarca, with €1 million. Vice-president Natàlia Enguix highlighted that the plan, revived after eight years, is crucial for preserving the "identity and history" of the towns.
The President of the Provincial Council, Vicent Mompó, emphasized the strategic nature of the plan, aiming to save cultural assets "that have been forgotten for too long." Mompó recalled the council's commitment to allocate more credit to meet all the proposals submitted by the municipalities.
The credit modification will be presented at the June plenary session. Grants can reach up to €1 million for Sites of Cultural Interest and €500,000 for Sites of Local Relevance. 75% of the subsidy will be paid upon award of the works, with the remainder after justification of the work, which must be completed by September 30, 2028.
Other new projects include improvements to the roofs of the Torres de Tapia at Bétera Castle (€735,000), restoration of the archaeological site of Castellet de Bernabé in Llíria (€500,000), consolidation of the Church of Santiago in Benicalaf (€435,000), and rehabilitation of the oven in Alfauir (€340,000).
