World Heritage Site: Palmeral of Elche

Summary
A study comparing the perception and management of two distinct types of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Elche—an intangible heritage (Misterio de Elche) and a material one (Palmeral)—reveals that community perception significantly influences preservation efforts. While the intangible heritage thrives due to its dynamic nature, the Palmeral's permanence risks losing authenticity when adapted to meet community expectations. This research highlights the tension between maintaining originality and aligning with societal values in heritage conservation.
