Development and Promotion of Creative Industry Potentials in Central European Cities
Historical fortified monuments, fortress systems and fortified relicts are to be found in all central European regions. This unique cultural heritage, partially awarded with protection status, represents the special identity and attractiveness of central Europe’s cities and regions. However, it also faces a general problem of inadequate maintenance and utilisation. Transnational cooperation can help the regions, in this very context, to capitalise on their cultural heritage for urban, cultural and social development, promote the tourism business and conceptually prepare investments in related tourism and monument protection.

The FORTE CULTURA project aims to boost new quality into the particular segment of cultural heritage by promotion of the fortified heritage and knowledge exchange about the monuments‘ protection and modern utilisation.
