Abstract

The Public Administrations and the Autonomous Communities have the power to grant honors and distinctions, following their own approved regulations, which include a series of categories based on the merits that they want to reward or the values that they want to highlight. In general, they can grant Medals, titles of Favorite Son or Adoptive Son, the placement of plaques on public roads or monuments, the naming of streets and urban roads, ownership of buildings, etc. and in some they also have a Gallery where the portrait of those characters who have more relevant merits is exhibited, in order to give visibility and show them to the community to increase their presence in memory. Also other official institutions, professional associations and cultural entities have a Gallery to show their benefactors or presidents who have given prominence to the institution itself.
