Historical and Cultural Heritage from the Public Authority's Perspective

When it comes to Historical and Cultural Heritage, various segments of society create a different image. What is Historical and Cultural Heritage? What are the points of convergence between the academic conception of this object and the legislative definition? What is the educational potential of historical heritage? The unease that questions like these give rise to permeated the research that resulted in this work. A contextualised reading of research such as that carried out in this work addresses the issues surrounding the field of discourse from an academic perspective. On the other hand, it raises political-administrative responsibilities. Between possible answers and still unsolvable questions, the reflection, based on the concreteness of the examples given, is a port of passage while treading a path that is being built synchronously and observing the socio-cultural transformations of this millennium's threshold.
