The Community of Madrid has declared the home of poet and Nobel laureate Vicente Aleixandre, located on the street that bears his name, a Site of Cultural Interest. This space, known as the house of poetry, was a meeting point for several generations of writers. The measure aims to reinforce its legal protection and prevent its deterioration or alteration.
BIC Protection: Legal Safeguard Against Deterioration 🏛️
The BIC declaration implies a protection regime that affects both the property and its surroundings. Any work or modification will require authorization from the Ministry of Culture. The file includes a conservation plan with technical criteria for restoring original elements, such as woodwork and coatings. Owners must allow periodic visits and maintain controlled public access. Penalties for damages are established, which can reach up to 300,000 euros.
Now let's see who puts up a plastic pergola 😂
With the BIC, residents of the area can now forget about seeing an aluminum terrace on the Nobel laureate's facade. Of course, if anyone was thinking of putting up an awning with advertising for a beer brand, they should get that out of their head. Aleixandre's house is shielded against architectural bad taste, although for the neighborhood's poetry, the block next door already has its own brutalist style.
