Created in 1984 under the name ‘Historic Monuments Open Days’ by the Ministry of Culture, European Heritage Days aim to show as many people as possible the extraordinary richness of our heritage through unique events, unusual visits and special openings.
The best way to protect heritage is to raise awareness of it and ensure that it is accessible. Every year, millions of visitors of all ages gather for European Heritage Days and cross the threshold of exceptional sites and buildings that are usually closed to the general public.
