It also considers it "fundamental" that "restoration and rehabilitation processes in buildings listed in the new PEPRI be promoted and favored so that the monumental area maintains its architectural, historical and artistic values" and we have also requested " Of other buildings of great interest that are outside PEPRI's scope of activity, such as the Convento de la Virgen de las Huertas, the chapels of Monte Calvario or the churches of San Cristóbal, San Diego and San José, among others. " PEPRI has to be "a realistic document that makes Casco Histórico an attractive area to live, work, buy and enjoy that protects the architectural and artistic values ​​of the monumental area and becomes a new pillar that underpins our economic, urban development And tourist ".
