April 19, 2023

April 18th is observed as World Heritage Day, also referred to as International Day for Monuments and Sites.
The primary objective of this day is to raise awareness of the significance of safeguarding cultural heritage, including historical structures, landmarks, and archaeological locations, and to celebrate the variety of global heritage.
The theme for World Heritage Day 2023 is “Heritage Changes.”
The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), headquartered in Paris, proposed the notion of observing World Heritage Day in 1982, and it was subsequently endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1983.
