Extremadura invests 3.5 million euros in religious heritage restoration

The Extremadura regional government has allocated 3,511,400 euros in 2026 for the restoration of religious architectural heritage within the autonomous community.

Of this total investment, 57.32% (2,012,800 euros) is dedicated to buildings currently used for religious worship, while 42.68% (1,498,600 euros) is directed toward religious buildings that no longer host active worship.

Ongoing projects include the consolidation and restoration of the San Francisco Convent in Belvís de Monroy, the roof restoration of the San Antonio de Padua convent church in Garrovillas de Alconétar, and the restoration of the San Jorge hermitage in Cáceres.

Completed works this year include the roof restoration of the Nuestra Señora de la Granada church in Fuente de Cantos and the church tower of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in Malpartida de la Serena. Additionally, funds were used for the adaptation of the wooden artesonado room in the Episcopal Palace of Plasencia.
