The Community of Madrid has announced an investment of over 2 million euros for 2026 to support the restoration, conservation, and maintenance of the region’s Catholic cultural and artistic heritage.

A primary focus of this funding is the Real Iglesia Parroquial de Santiago y San Juan Bautista, a site recently declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC). The church, which serves as a starting point for the Camino de Santiago, contains significant historical assets including medieval bells, 17th-century sculptures, an 18th-century organ, and Spanish Baroque paintings such as ‘Santiago a caballo en la batalla de Clavijo’ by Francisco Rizi and ‘Bautismo de Jesús’ by Juan Carreño de Miranda.
