The Benissanó City Council created the “Castell de Benissanó” distinction 18 years ago as a reward to be delivered coinciding with the celebration of the acquisition of the Castle in municipal ownership, to reward and recognize extraordinary merits to people, entities or corporations that have provided services or dispensed honors or benefits in the cultural, scientific, social, artistic, sports, political or economic fields.
This distinction is assigned in two categories such as, recognition at the local and regional level.
