Twenty projects in the Balearic Islands have benefited from the Government’s 2% Cultural Program
The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma) has opened the deadline, until October 15, to submit applications for assistance to regenerate and rehabilitate the Spanish Historical Heritage, within the framework of the 2% Cultural Program.
So far, in Illes Balears there have been 19 actions benefiting from these subsidies. Ten are located in Mallorca, in the municipalities of Palma, Capdepera and Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. In Menorca there are three, divided between Maó and Ferreries. Finally, six monuments receiving this aid are concentrated in Ibiza.
The Mitma has allocated more than 8 million euros to Balears to restore its monumental heritage under the 2% Cultural Program. In 2010, there was the largest contribution by the Ministry to the Balears, for the rehabilitation of the area of the Baluard des Príncipe, with more than 2 million euros. In Menorca the highest grant to date corresponds to the historic building of the Illa del Rei Hospital in Maó, whose works began in 2021 and for which more than 290 thousand euros were allocated. In Ibiza, funds have been allocated for the restoration of the Renaissance walls or the site of Puig des Molins, among other works.
