Overview
Cultural heritage in its broadest sense, is both a product and process which provides societies with a wealth of resources, that is inherited from the past, created in the present and bestowed for the benefit of the future generations. Traditionally, while cultural heritage has been associated with monuments and collections of objects, it now also covers the traditional and living expressions inherited from ancestors and passed on to descendants.
