Cultural Heritage Landscapes

Cultural Heritage Landscapes are areas that reflect the combined work of nature and human activity over time, showcasing a community’s history, traditions, and identity. They include natural features like mountains and rivers, as well as man-made structures, farms, villages, or farmland that have cultural significance. These landscapes tell stories about how people have interacted with their environment, shaping and being shaped by it. Recognizing them helps preserve important aspects of a culture or community, maintaining a link between the past and present and fostering a sense of identity and continuity.
