Nine historical sites have received the European Heritage Label during an award ceremony on 26 March in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. These sites join the 29 historical landmarks that have already been designated European Heritage sites. Receiving the label means that each place is considered a milestone in the creation of the modern Europe we see today.

Check out these amazing sites:

• Leipzig’s Musical Heritage Sites, Germany, nine locations representing various episodes of its musical history from churches to individual composers. Watch an inspiring short clip;
• The Dohàny Street Synagogue, Hungary, the largest synagogue in Europe that is a symbol of integration, remembrance and openness to a dialogue. Watch this short clip and find out more; 
• The Sighet Memorial, Romania, housed in a former Stalinist prison, in operation from 1948 to the 1970s, and now serves as a memorial to the victims of communist regimes. Watch a short clip.
