THE HERITAGE NIGHT.
LA NOCHE DEL PATRIMONIO. LA NIT DEL PATRIMONI. A NOITE DO PATRIMONIO
In 2018, on the occasion of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of its creation, the Spanish World Heritage Cities Group (GCPHE) launched LA NOCHE DEL PATRIMONIO. LA NIT DEL PATRIMONI. A NOITE DO PATRIMONIO to highlight the diversity and «living heritage» of the 15 Cities through their local talents, cultural expressions and the hybridisation between intangible heritage and contemporary creation. Since then, this unique event in Europe has created a space for exchange between UNESCO World Heritage Cities, artistic territories and diverse audiences.
CELEBRATE WITH US THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SPANISH WORLD HERITAGE CITIES GROUP
In 2023, coinciding with the 30th Anniversary of the creation of the GCPHE and the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, on 16th September the cities of Alcalá de Henares, Ávila, Baeza, Cáceres, Córdoba, Cuenca, Ibiza/Eivissa, Mérida, Salamanca, San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Santiago de Compostela, Segovia, Tarragona, Toledo and Úbeda, in compliance with the social vocation inherent to their declaration as World Heritage, will open the doors of their most emblematic treasures at night and bring their historic centres to a new life.
