What’s heritage?
It refers to a collection of tangible and intangible items that are part of the cultural identity of a group. In 1972, UNESCO published a revised classification of cultural assets.
* Monuments: Architecture, sculpture, painting and archaeology.
*Sets are groups of constructions whose architecture and integration in the landscape gives them extraordinary value from the historical or art or science perspective.
*Places are works of man or nature that have universal value, whether they be historical, aesthetic, ethnological, or anthropological.
These are cultural assets (tangible and intangible), which include monumental architecture, works art, military and defense architecture, witnesses to industrial production, witnesses for agricultural culture, witnesses for the gastronomic tradition, and others.
Why should we preserve our heritage?
It is vital to preserve our cultural values so that they do not disappear. It would be terrible if Valencia were without Fallas, one its largest parties.
What do we need to keep?
It is important to protect the physical parts of the building such as its colors, shapes, materials and character. It is important to preserve the architectural heritage, history and antiquity as well as art, but it is equally important to maintain its value.
How do you preserve
There are two types of harmful instruments: laws, inventories and catalogs, or intervention actions (maintenance repairs, renovation, adaptation, reconstruction, restoration, etc.). ).
