On the way! - Heritage of routes, networks, and connections

Theme 2024

Open Monument Day is part of the European Heritage Days (EHD), which establish a theme each year. For 2024, the theme is “Heritage of Routes, Networks, and Connections.” This theme emphasizes how people and societies have always been on the move, both in times of peace and war, for pilgrimages, trade, and exploration. Over the centuries, routes and (trade) networks have emerged, roads have been built, transport networks expanded, and new means of transportation and communication methods invented. These routes, networks, and connections continue to develop and form a crossroads between the past, present, and future.
