The European Heritage Label
The European Heritage Label 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, 60 sites have been selected for their symbolic value, the role they have played in the European history and activities they offer that bring the European Union and its citizens closer together. Due to the 2019 outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Award Ceremony will announce and celebrate the selected sites of two successive selection years, 2019 and 2021, which awarded respectively ten and twelve new sites.
