It should be noted that “European Heritage Days” are held every year in 50 European countries that have joined the European Cultural Convention (1954). The idea of implementing this project started in 1984 in France under the title “Open Day of Historical Monuments”.
The “European Heritage Days” program was officially approved by the Council of Europe in 1991. In 1999, the European Union also joined this project, and this project began to be implemented with the slogan “Common European Heritage”. More than 70,000 cultural events are organized annually across Europe to raise public awareness of European heritage, emphasize its uniqueness and diversity and the importance of its continued preservation.
