Santa Cruz de Tenerife Approves New Catalog of Protected Cultural Sites

The city council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife has taken a major step to safeguard its cultural heritage by initially approving a new catalog of protected cultural sites.

Key Measures

• This move suspends the issuance of permits for land subdivision, construction, and demolition on most protected properties.
• The suspension is effective for up to two years.

Objectives

• The aim is to better preserve historically significant buildings.
• The new catalog includes sites listed in the older 1992 catalog, with a few exceptions.

Exceptions

• A site on Rambla de Santa Cruz is notably excluded from the new protections.
