Overview

Heritage has become a prominent topic in today's political and cultural debates. Across Europe, many religious buildings are losing their original function, while governments and the EU are investing millions in conservation and adaptive re-use. Meanwhile, the increase in tourism and pilgrimage to religious objects, sites, and festivals is raising urgent questions about the sustainability and cultural impact of heritage.
