Who qualifies

What it funds
Restoration and maintenance of public cultural heritage and support of public cultural institutions.
What disqualifies an applicant
What it stacks with

Historic Villages Regeneration
Municipalities primarily, with enterprises participating through sub-grants for cultural, tourism and craft activity in the selected villages.
