The International Day for Monuments and Sites also known as World Heritage Day is an international observance held on 18 April each year around the world with different types of activities, including visits to monuments and heritage sites, conferences, round tables and newspaper articles.

Ancient monuments and buildings are global treasures. They require proper nurturing to last for years.

Across the world, there are countless remarkable sites and monuments, many of which beautifully show the specific countries’ culture. World Heritage Day brings together individuals, organisations, societies and governments to unite to raise awareness about the importance of historical sites and to promote their protection.
