Avila City Council will be integrated into the League of Historical Cities Accessible, created by the European Consortium of Foundations on Human Rights and Disability, representing Spain by the ONCE Foundation.
This action aims to improve accessibility and promote historic cities through concrete pilot actions, serve as a center for exchanging knowledge and best practices and develop pilot projects that can serve as inspiration for other foundations, cities and other interested parties.
These performances will be leaded by a group of foundations, closely related to a historic city. The initial working group will be constitued by the Banca del Monte di Lucca, Italy; Fondation de France, France; Calouste Gulbenkian, Portugal, and the Spanish ONCE Foundation, which has chosen the city of Avila to fulfill the conditions of historical and advanced work and experience in accessibility.
