Cultural heritage is the heritage of humanity that originates from the past and is cherished and preserved in the present for future generations. Cultural heritage can include many elements, such as traditions, customs, beliefs, crafts, architecture, music, art and language.<\/p>\n

Cultural heritage can be divided into tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Tangible cultural heritage consists of physical objects and buildings, such as historical monuments and archaeological finds. Intangible cultural heritage, on the other hand, consists of, for example, traditional dances, songs, stories and handicrafts.<\/p>\n

Cultural heritage is an important part of society and it helps to maintain and strengthen the identity and cohesion of communities. It also promotes the understanding and appreciation of the diversity and interaction of cultures.<\/p>\n
