AB With the exception of some pioneering, but incomplete, dispositions concerning Spain’s historical heritage approved in the 19th century, most of the legislation concerning this question was passed in the 20th century. Worth noting, among many other dispositions, is the Law of May 13th 1933 on the defence, conservation and growth of the national historic-artistic heritage and, in particular, the Law 16/1985, of June 25th, concerning Spain’s Historic Heritage. This latter law was to have an enormous transcendence, for at least three reasons: it grouped together a large part of the historical legislation; it included all Spain’s international commitments in this matter; and finally, it began a territorially decentralised stage in the recognition and protection of heritage assets, especially those denominated in Spain as BIC (Bien de Interés Cultural or Cultural Interest Asset).Since the approval of this law, the scientific literature on heritage and the legal provisions (laws and plans) created by the many administrations has, over the last three decades (1985-2015), undergone spectacular growth. This fact is closely linked to the transfer of competences to the regional governments which, through specificlegislation on cultural or historical heritage, has allowed politicalsingularity to be associated with some of the most relevant attributesof each particular territory, whether of a historical or heritage nature,or both.In addition, we have the incorporation of heritage to regionaldevelopment strategies (Landel, 2009), for which the following isnormally necessary: first, the creation of a territorial trademark basedon the exceptionality of the heritage assets or the uses and customsof the said territory (Harvey 2001; Ivanc & Gomes 2015; Lorenziniet al. 2011; Smith 2006); this is followed by the construction of newinfrastructures and facilities as instruments of territorial qualificationand revitalization (Ciambrone 2013; Simeon & Martone 2014); finallycomes the creation and sale of the original heritage, or its recreation,as a touristic resource (Ashworth 2003; Biernacka & Kocwin 2010;Gogolou & Dimopoulou 2015; Kirshenblatt 1998).As we shall analyse later, the recognition process of the assets uponwhich these strategies are based, the so-called BICs, attributed for themost part to the Autonomous Regions, has been decidedly irregular.What is true is that, in order to face the new challenges in takingadvantage of heritage, the number of assets that have been declaredof cultural interest has undergone spectacular growth. However, it isno less true that the number and location has no relation whatsoeverto the history, tradition or heritage wealth of the territories, but to theopportunity or political need to highlight them.
