In this paper we intend to present a description of the characteristics and the position of a part of this diffuse set of the symbolic production that is “culture”, understood in our case in a very restricted sense, and how it is distributed over the territory of the Valencian Community. In point 2 we try to come closer to the quantitative dimension of the phenomenon in terms of employment and revenues. In point 3 our analysis locates the territorial dimensions erga-intra (that is to say the hierarchy of cultural local systems inside the Valencian Community), and erga extra (with regard to other territorial locations in Spain). Later, in points 4, 5 and 6 we try to describe the most characteristic features of different cultural sectors in the Valencian Community, to go on to point 7 in which we explain the role played by the cultural policies in the configuration of the above mentioned sectors. Finally we offer some conclusions.
