Spanish term or phrase: cultura / carácter cultural (please read context)

Interview with President of the Santiago de Compostela Convention Bureau. I'm trying to avoid repeating the word 'culture' here, so any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

¿Hay algún sector en especial que realice más actividades en Santiago de Compostela?

La Universidad, con más de cinco siglos de historia y con un gran presente investigador, genera cada año multitud de encuentros de diferente índole. Son también muy importantes los ámbitos vinculados con la ***cultura** y la Administración pública, tanto por el ***carácter cultural** de la ciudad como por su condición de capital de Galicia.

culture / cultural capital

Explanation:
I suggest changing the structure of the original and leave out "carácter":

culture and public administration

... given the twofold nature of Santiago, both a centre of culture and the region's capital city.

I am sure a native speaker can improve on this tentative version.
