Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes inherited from past generations. It encompasses the traditions, values, languages, rituals, and expressions of a particular group or society, as well as monuments, historic sites, artworks, and artifacts that have historical, cultural, or artistic significance. Cultural heritage can be tangible, such as buildings, paintings, and archaeological sites, or intangible, such as folklore, performing arts, and traditional knowledge. It represents the collective identity of a community and contributes to social cohesion, cultural diversity, and a sense of belonging. Preservation and promotion of cultural heritage are essential for maintaining the cultural identity of communities and ensuring the transmission of knowledge and practices across generations.
