76. Old City of Salamanca (Spain) Year of inscription on the World Heritage List: 1988 Criteria C (i) (ii) (iv) Previous International Assistance: N.A Previous Bureau/Committee Deliberations: 26 COM 21 (b) 69 New Information: WHC: According to information received by the World Heritage Centre in 2002, Caja Duero desisted from building the auditorium in the Huerta de las Adoratrices, thus following the recommendation of the World Heritage Committee. However, according to several newspaper articles sent to the Centre by ICOMOS-Spain in September-October 2002, Caja Duero still has the intention to build the auditorium, which is fully supported by the Regional Government (Junta de Castilla y León). On 22 October 2002, a letter was sent to the Spanish Permanent Delegation to express concern about the uncertainty created about the future use of the Huerto de las Adoratrices. Although there are signs that the original project of the auditorium in the Adoratrices will not be carried out, on 6 September 2002 the General Assembly of Caja Duero approved the creation of a Foundation to promote cultural and social activities. According to a regional newspaper (Norte de Castilla, 7 September 2002), this Foundation will have its seat in the now so-called ‘Complejo de las Adoratrices’, implying that a new project for the Auditorium will be presented. At the time of the preparation of this working document, no report from the authorities had been received concerning this issue. ICOMOS: ICOMOS underlined its opposition to this project, stating that the insertion of a modern building would be a regrettable intrusion, which would seriously jeopardize the extraordinary atmosphere of history and learning of the historic centre. Issues: Urban Pressure.
