Dohány Street Synagogue receives European Heritage Label
Change language:
Twenty-five sites have been nominated for the European Heritage Label this year. An independent body formed by the European Commission selected the final nine sites that received the European Heritage Label. As we have reported earlier, the Dohány Street Synagogue Complex in Budapest was also nominated for the label. The Dohány Street Synagogue has been selected, and it is now officially a European Heritage site, reports TurizmusOnline.hu.
Together with the Dohány Street Synagogue, currently, there are 38 European Heritage sites in Europe. This year’s award ceremony will be held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria on 26 March.
What is the European Heritage Label?
According to the European Commission’s official website, European Heritage sites are:
“…milestones in the creation of today’s Europe. Spanning from the dawn of civilization to the Europe we see today, these sites celebrate and symbolise European ideals, values, history and integration.”
The website also says that European Heritage sites bring to life the European narrative and the history behind it.
