Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations. This includes monuments, buildings, artworks, and archaeological sites, as well as practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, and skills that communities recognize as part of their cultural identity. Cultural heritage is significant for preserving the history and identity of communities and nations, fostering a sense of belonging and continuity. It encompasses both tangible elements, such as historical structures and traditional crafts, and intangible elements, such as folk traditions, language, and rituals. The preservation and promotion of cultural heritage are vital for maintaining diversity and fostering mutual respect among different cultures globally.
