Rafael Manzano Prize

The Rafael Manzano Prize is an award that recognizes people who use their creativity to help save historic and culturally important buildings and places. The Prize, awarded every two years, is named after Rafael Manzano, a Spanish architect and urban planner who was a pioneer in the field of conservation and restoration of historic buildings. To win the Prize, people must submit a project or plan for restoring or preserving a historic or culturally important building or site. Once the project is accepted, the winner receives money to help them carry out their plan. This money can be used to pay for new materials, labor costs, or any other expenses associated with restoring the building or site.
