A cultural heritage site is a place that holds historical, cultural, or artistic significance for a community or society. These sites include monuments, buildings, landscapes, or ruins that reflect the history, traditions, and identity of a people. They are preserved to understand and appreciate our shared past, often representing important achievements or stories. Protecting these sites helps maintain cultural diversity, educate future generations, and foster a sense of connection to history. Examples include ancient temples, historic districts, archaeological ruins, or traditional villages, all serving as tangible links to our collective cultural legacy.
