Built Heritage

Built heritage refers to structures, buildings, and sites that are valued for their historical, architectural, or cultural significance. This includes monuments, homes, bridges, and entire neighborhoods that reflect the identity and history of a community or society. Protecting built heritage is important because these places tell stories of our past, contribute to cultural continuity, and can enhance our sense of identity. Maintaining and preserving these structures helps ensure that future generations can appreciate and learn from them, while also supporting local economies and tourism.
