European Cultural Capital

The European Capital of Culture is a title awarded annually to cities in the European Union to promote culture, tourism, and ties among European citizens. Each selected city organizes a year-long program of cultural events, showcasing local heritage, creativity, and community involvement. The initiative aims to encourage cooperation and dialogue between cultures, boost tourism, and enhance local development. Cities strive to make a significant cultural impact, often resulting in lasting benefits for residents and visitors alike, while fostering a sense of European identity and solidarity.
