Theme for 18 April 2014: "Heritage of Commemoration"

We wish all ICOMOS members and friends a very instructive and rewarding International Day for Monuments and Sites.

Visit the 2014 Events page - ICOMOS Committees and other organisers from over 40 countries have sent us information on their activities, and the number keeps on growing. 

If your Committee or organisation did not plan an event this year - make sure you do so in 2015!

ICOMOS Bosnia and Herzegovina

Savremene percepcije kulturnog naslijeda Austro-Ugarske u Bosni i Hercegovini.Contemporary perception of the Austro-Hungarian cultural heritage in Bosnia and Herzegovina.  Proceedings of the Symposium from 22nd November 2014 in Sarajevo.Vjekoslava Sanković Simčić(ed.), Icomos National Committee in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2016, 244p. .illus. electronic version.

During the 40 years of being a part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, first as an occupied country under the formal sovereignity of the Turkish sultan in 1878, and after the Annexation in 1908, as a part of the Monarchy, Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced a phase of deep inner transformation.
The Austro-Hungarian occupation introduced new forms of architecture and town-planning into the Oriental physionomy of the Bosnia and Herzegovina towns, creating picturesque contrasts and unexpected relations in that interesting meeting of the two worlds.
