Cultural heritage refers to the collective legacy of customs, traditions, artifacts, and intangible expressions that have been inherited from past generations and are preserved and valued by a particular society or community. It encompasses a wide range of elements, including historical sites, monuments, artworks, music, literature, languages, rituals, festivals, and traditional practices. Cultural heritage provides a profound insight into the identity, values, beliefs, and history of a group of people, serving as a bridge between the past and the present. It fosters a sense of belonging, promotes cultural diversity, and encourages the appreciation and understanding of different societies and their contributions to humanity. Preserving and safeguarding cultural heritage is vital to maintaining cultural identity, promoting cultural exchange, and fostering a sense of pride and unity within communities.
