The International Day of Monuments and Sites was established on 18 April 1982 by ICOMOS and approved by UNESCO the following year. Since then, this commemorative date has offered an opportunity to raise public awareness of the diversity of heritage and the efforts needed to protect and conserve it, as well as to draw attention to its vulnerability. Representing an annual moment of celebration of heritage diversity, 18 April is intended to be a celebration of national heritage, but also to celebrate international solidarity in safeguarding and enhancing heritage all over the world.
