Europa Nostra [Alliance member] has revealed 12 monuments and sites on its shortlist for its 7 Most Endangered listed 2018. The selection considered the sites’ outstanding heritage and cultural value as well as the imminent danger that they are facing. The engagement of local communities and the commitment of public and private stakeholders to saving these sites were also considered crucial. Another main criterion was the potential of these sites to act as a catalyst for sustainable socio-economic development. The final list of 7 most endangered heritage sites in Europe will be unveiled on 15 March.
