Cultural Heritage

Cultural Heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society inherited from past generations. This encompasses a wide range of elements, including monuments, buildings, artworks, traditions, languages, customs, practices, and knowledge that are valued for their historical, aesthetic, scientific, or social significance. Cultural heritage serves as a means of identity for communities, allowing them to connect with their history and culture. It can be divided into tangible heritage, such as historic sites and artifacts, and intangible heritage, which includes oral traditions, performing arts, rituals, and social practices. The preservation and promotion of cultural heritage are important for fostering a sense of belonging and continuity, as well as for understanding the diversity and richness of human cultures around the world.
