Since last July, Madrid is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List, which lists sites of exceptional universal value. In this way, the Paseo del Prado and the Buen Retiro are in the category of Cultural Landscape and with the particularity of being in an extraordinary urban environment where culture, science and nature coexist since the mid-16th century. This Landscape of Light is the first good to hold such a distinction in the city of Madrid, and the fifth in the Community.

Wikisphere, along with Medialab Slaughterhouse and in collaboration with the Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage of Madrid City Council, organised an editathon on Saturday 13 November, to promote the care and improvement of heritage in its digital dimension in Wikipedia. This is the third in a series of four editathons and training activities that aim to form a permanent working group on this matter and help to make visible fundamental elements of the Landscape of Light in Wikipedia.

Thus, from 10:00 am, participants from different institutions belonging to the Civic and Social Council of the Prado-Retiro candidacy gathered in The Terrarium Intermediae 's Madrid Slaughterhouse to create and translate articles of works of art found in the collections of the Prado Museum and of the the Thyssen - Bornemisza Museum. We also have the specialist in Art and Feminism Encina Villanueva Lorenzana (@_Waslala_) that helped us to draw up the list of works made by women who did not yet have an article on Wikipedia.
