Program 2% Cultural
The “2% Cultural” program is the main tool of the General Administration of the State to guarantee the conservation of the historical, cultural and artistic heritage of Spain, prioritizing the generation of activity, creating employment and regenerating urban or rural environments.
The development of the 2% Cultural Program proposes a model of action with broad social content, based on the following criteria:
- The fundamental economic support comes from the execution of public works.
- The Spanish Cultural Heritage is recovered, respecting the legacy received and promoting the feeling of belonging and pride for the same.
- Public use is promoted by promoting the social approach to Heritage.
- Employment and wealth are generated in the areas where the recovered patrimonial elements are located.
- It contributes to the general objective of generating quality tourism.

To these 1,237 applications already definitively approved, the call published in July 2023 is now added, the fifth published by this competitive competition procedure, with a credit availability of 80 million euros.
