‘World Heritage Day,’ also known as the ‘International Day for Monuments and Sites,’ is celebrated annually on April 18th. This day, established by UNESCO in 1983, aims to raise awareness about the cultural heritage of humanity and the efforts needed for its protection and conservation.

On World Heritage Day, people worldwide engage in various activities, such as guided tours, exhibitions, and seminars, to highlight the significance of historical monuments, buildings, and natural sites. The day encourages the appreciation of cultural diversity and emphasizes the importance of safeguarding these treasures for future generations.

Themes vary each year, addressing specific challenges or highlighting particular aspects of heritage preservation. World Heritage Day serves as a platform to foster a sense of collective responsibility for preserving and celebrating the richness of our shared cultural and natural heritage.
