Summary
A collaborative artistic and historical project, 'Monumento Grial,' integrates the legend of the Holy Grail with UNESCO World Heritage Sites to revitalize cultural tourism. The initiative, led by Dr. Ana Mafé García, combines iconographic research from her thesis with the creative work of artist Dra. María Gómez Rodrigo to trace the Grail's path—from Jerusalem and Rome to Naples and Somport—linking it to existing heritage sites like the Royal Pantheon Monastery of San Juan de la Peña and Valencia Cathedral. The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration between civil society, government, and industry to foster sustainable tourism development, blending art, history, and technology for educational and economic impact.
