Resumo: The constitution of the State of the Autonomies and the need to set up a large part of the governing bodies in the regional capitals, the opportunities of managing the socio-cultural, university and tourist functions, among others, and innovations in the field of management have encouraged the design and implementation of different urban policies aimed at revitalizing the historical centers and promoting the development of cultural tourism, thus initiating a slow recovery and a value enhancement of their heritage. These policies have been endorsed by UNESCO with the recognition of the historical centers of several cities as World Heritage. This is the case of Santiago de Compostela and Toledo. Even accepting that there is still much to be done, the situation of their historical centers is noticeably more favorable than that existing at the beginning of the 1980’s.
