World Heritage Day is celebrated on April 18. It is marked to raise awareness about the importance of cultural heritage and the need to preserve it for future generations.
The idea of celebrating World Heritage Day was proposed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) in 1982 and was later approved by the United Nations General Assembly in 1983.
The date, April 18th, was chosen to commemorate the day when the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage was adopted by UNESCO in 1982.
The main aim of World Heritage Day is to promote awareness about the importance of preserving cultural heritage, such as historic buildings, monuments, and archaeological sites.
The theme for 2022 was "Heritage and Climate" and the theme for 2023 is “Heritage Changes”.
