Cultural Heritage
Organised by Europa Nostra, Romanian Order of Architects and Associata Prin Banat in the frame of the International Forum on Historic Centres. Reflections by Sara Crofts, Europa Nostra Council Member and Chair of Europa Nostra UK

The 7 Most Endangered monuments and heritage sites in Europe in 2023 – the 10th anniversary year of the programme – were announced by The Hague on 13 April.
