World Heritage Day 🌍 🏛️
Celebrating Resilience

Established in 1982 by UNESCO’s General Conference, the 18th of April is International Day for Monuments and Sites—also known as World Heritage Day. It highlights that conserving cultural heritage requires careful study of the past and planning for the future.

For 2026, the theme is “Emergency Response for Living Heritage in contexts of Conflicts and Disasters,” reflecting one of heritage’s biggest challenges in recent years.

In the photo: Dockyard Creek in the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities—among the most bombed places during World War II—where several historically important buildings were lost in armed conflict between 1940 and 1942. A local reminder of the resilience of Living Heritage.
