European Heritage sites are milestones in the creation of today’s Europe. Spanning from the dawn of civilisation to the Europe we see today, these sites celebrate and symbolise European ideals, values, history and integration.

Since 2013, these sites have been selected for their symbolic value, the role they have played in European history and the activities they offer. These sites bring the European Union and its citizens closer together.

The European Heritage Label is unique with its focus on education, outreach and awareness of the diverse historical and cultural paths that have led to the creation of today’s Europe
