Architectural/built heritage
Cultural Heritage:
What is it?
“The concept of an historic monument embraces
not only the single architectural work but also the
urban or rural setting in which is found the
evidence of a particular civilization, a significant
development or an historic event. This applies not
only to great works of art but also to more modest
works of the past which have acquired cultural
significance with the passing of time.”

is an integral part of the
building. Not only it is
painted on the plaster of
its walls or ceilings, but it
can be part of its
architecture, extending
visually and “virtually”
its interior space, like in
this example of Trompe-
l'œil painting in villa
Foscarini-
Rossi, Veneto, Italy

three-dimentional
elements are painted on
