This research examines how cognitive appraisal theory predicts emotional experiences in the gradual setting of a heritage site, using the Cathedral of Valencia as a case study.

Factors like personal control, expectations, and satisfaction influenced emotions, with the theory being more accurate for residents than non-residents.
