European Heritage sites are milestones in the creation of today’s Europe. Spanning from the dawn of civilisation to the Europe we see today, these sites celebrate and symbolise European ideals, values, history and integration.

Since 2013, European Heritage Label (EHL) has been awarded to sites for their symbolic value, the role they have played in European history and activities they offer. These sites bring the European Union and its citizens closer together.

In 2023, the Association European Network of Places of Peace promoted, with its members and other partners, a candidacy of sites associated with the signing of Peace Treaties for this important European award, which was not approved for essentially technical reasons.

As ENPP is aware that the general content of this project meets all the conditions to comply with the evaluation criteria of the European Heritage Label and the European sites where Peace Treaties were signed deserve this European distinction, a new application is being prepared for the 2025 assessment period.
