Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes inherited from past generations, which includes sites, structures, objects, traditions, and practices that are significant to a particular culture or community. It comprises both tangible elements, such as buildings, monuments, and artworks, as well as intangible elements, such as language, folklore, music, and rituals. Cultural heritage is essential for preserving the identity and history of a society, fostering a sense of belonging, and promoting understanding and appreciation among different cultures. It plays a vital role in education, tourism, and cultural exchange, and efforts to protect and promote cultural heritage are supported by international organizations to ensure that future generations can experience and learn from these shared histories.
