The Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Lisbon was established in April 2024 as part of a larger project, the ‘European Heritage Hub‘, led by Europa Nostra together with a consortium of 20 partners and supported by the European Union. The project aims to safeguard cultural heritage while contributing to building a more inclusive, sustainable, and digital Europe.
The Lisbon Hub is operated by the Centro Nacional de Cultura, a private cultural non-profit association that represents Europa Nostra in Portugal, in collaboration with the City of Lisbon.
It considers the importance of Lisbon as one of Europe’s oldest and most multicultural cities, long recognised for the richness and diversity of its heritage – factors which amply justify its selection as the location for the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub.
The establishment of the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Lisbon contributes to strengthening the City of Lisbon’s role in the international field of cultural heritage and leads to the reinforcement of synergies between the public sector, the non-governmental sector and civil society for the management, promotion and preservation of cultural heritage.
