cultural heritage — Heritage protection: 7 tips for visiting cultural landmarks

care — When you visit cultural sites, your actions can help preserve these landmarks and set a positive example for other visitors. A little care is all it takes to avoid major risks and make a difference.

double-tap — Maintain a safe distance. Touching or leaning on walls, sculptures, and surfaces can cause discoloration and permanent degradation.

graffiti-min — Keep it clean. Carving or writing graffiti is irreversible physical damage.

climbing-with-rope-min — Respect the structure. Sitting, climbing, or standing on historical elements (like ancient steps, low walls, or fountain edges) causes cracks and accelerates structural wear and tear.

fastfood-min — Protect from contamination. Food and sugary drinks cause immediate stains and attract pests (insects and rodents). Please refrain from littering or eating at historical sites and use the bins provided.

camera-min — Photography without flash. The intense light from camera flashes can cause the loss of original color over time.

high-heels — Mind your footprint. High heels and rolling luggage can lead to permanent grooves and damage.

stop-sign-min — Stay within the lines. Entering restricted areas damages the protected surface and poses a risk to your safety.
