On 17-18 September 1996, the European Heritage
Days, sponsored by the European Council, were celebrated in 46
European countries. Several institutional buildings, museums and
private places of cultural interest were opened to the
public just for those days.
In France, the celebration is also sponsored by the Ministry of
Culture, which releases every year pamphlets listings all the open
places.
Ivan Sache, 25 September 1996
The flag of the European Heritage Days is the European Union flag charged with a white skyline made of houses, a church steeple, a defence
tower and a dome, thus reflecting the diversity of the European cultural
heritage.
This flag is hoisted daily in Lisbon (Portugal) in the local office of the European Council's European Heritage Network (which is not a Heritage Site itself).
