The data collected was subjected to descriptive analysis by scoring the most common\udaccessibility resources, their adequacy as well as the resources not installed. Results: The results show that all\udthe external and internal areas of the analyzed buildings need for adaptations, installations or the building of\udequipment that allows the physically or visually disabled to interact with the environment in the chosen cultural\udspaces.
