The celebration of Europa Nostra’s 60th Anniversary in 2023 represents the perfect occasion to capitalise on the unique contribution of Europa Nostra to the preservation of cultural heritage in Europe and beyond, and to demonstrate the firm commitment to respond creatively and forcefully to many challenges that our society and environment are facing today. The choice of Venice as the host city of the European Cultural Heritage Summit 2023 marking the 60th Anniversary of Europa Nostra represents in itself a strong symbol: Venice stands for the uniqueness, beauty and fragility of Europe’s cultural heritage.
