The house-studio of artist Lourdes Castro is for sale, which has generated great concern among specialists and cultural entities. The property is available on the real estate market, raising alerts about the future of the space dedicated to the renowned Madeiran artist.
The Regional Secretariat for Culture received on Thursday a formal request to classify the property. This request comes as an attempt to protect the artist's space, which is considered a place of significant cultural importance for the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
The Madeira Parliament has already spoken out against the sale of the property, expressing its opposition to any transaction that could compromise the integrity of the space. The assembly's position reflects institutional concern with the preservation of the cultural heritage associated with Lourdes Castro.
Experts in the field of culture express concerns that the sale could result in the destruction of the space. The house-studio is seen as a place of invaluable historical and artistic value, whose loss would represent a significant blow to the cultural heritage of Madeira.
