Generalitat allocates €8.93 million for Pilar de la Horadada auditorium and conservatoire

The Consell has approved an increase to the multi-year spending allocation planned to fund phase II of the Mediterranean Arts and Music Centre (CAMME) in Pilar de la Horadada. The planned regional contribution totals €8,933,004.91 and is intended to build an auditorium and a professional music conservatoire in the Cultural District.

The agreement was adopted on 23 October 2026 and published in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV) on 27 October. The authorisation allows spending to be committed over several financial years under direct grant line S2231, but does not itself constitute the final award of the grant.

The budget schedule provides for €85,000 in 2026, €1.7 million in 2027, €4.25 million in 2028 and €2,898,004.91 in 2029. Most of the funding is therefore planned for the two middle years of the period.

The development will occupy a plot of around 5,030 square metres in the northern part of the Cultural District. The project includes a 600-seat auditorium, the professional conservatoire and facilities associated with the Municipal Music School. The work will expand the cultural and music facilities available in the town, in a comarca where pupils and families regularly travel to other centres.

Meanwhile, the Town Council has put out to tender the preparation of the basic and detailed construction plans, as well as the works supervision. The budget for this services contract is €721,356, including VAT. Tender 39/2026/CONTRATA was published on 8 October, with 6 November 2026 set as the deadline for submitting bids.

The initial regional allocation set out in the 2026 draft budget was €200,000. The October agreement raises the spending commitment limit for subsequent years, providing for the planned funding through to 2029. Delivery will depend on the grant process and progress on the municipal project.

The CAMME is being developed in phases. The Casa de Cultura and the Holy Week Museum, corresponding to phases I and III, were built with municipal funds. The Town Council puts the total investment in those works at €8,105,519, including VAT. Work began on 5 August 2022 and was formally accepted on 3 September 2024.
