El grupo Socialists of Dénia has demanded the mayor Ana Kringe to prepare a Master Plan for the castle of Dénia with the Generalitat Valenciana after the controversy of recent weeks with the opening and subsequent closing of the cafeteria located at the top of the fortification.
"Faced with the permanent abandonment in which the Dénia castle is located, the socialist group claims the mayor to request the Valencian Government to draw up a Master Plan for the Dénia Castle," said the spokesman, Vicent Grimalt.
Grimalt has pointed out that the castle and the municipal architectural heritage, such as the Marquesa Valero de Palma, Torrecremada and San Jose streets, are great heritage resources that have not been exploited in the city's tourism and cultural policies. Grimalt recalled that after five years in the city government, the PP-CU has stopped requesting the subsidy of the 1% cultural Ministry of Development to act in the architectural and cultural heritage of the city.
As he explained by the Socialist councilor Óscar MengualThe castle is a Cultural Interest and is one of the most important of Valencia, so it is very important to recover as a cultural, artistic and tourist landmark of the city with a schedule of performances throughout the year.
Mengual explained that this Master Plan is the "legal tool" that requires the Heritage Act of Valencia of 11 June 1998 to highlight the architectural and archaeological values of the monument and its exhibition spaces, determine schedules, uses, accesses , archaeological activities, communication campaigns, etc.
The Socialist councilor has insisted that the castle is a great untapped resource, so that the Master Plan should contain three key areas: conservation and management of subsidies, promotion and promotion and identification of uses, all with a multiyear projection, fleeing performances "hand to mouth", which "so accustomed have we the government team".
