\n<\/u>The Archaeological site of Ererouyk and the village of Ani Pemza in Armenia, Patarei Sea Fortress in Tallinn in Estonia, Helsinki-Malmi Airport in Finland, Colbert Swing Bridge in Dieppe in France, the Kampos of Chios in Greece, the Convent of St. Anthony of Padua in Extremadura in Spain, and the Ancient city of Hasankeyf and its surroundings in Turkey have been named as the 7 Most Endangered heritage sites in Europe in 2016.<\/p>\n
Europa Nostra, the leading European heritage organisation, and the European Investment Bank Institute (EIBI) made the announcement today during a public event at the Ateneo Veneto in Venice, Italy.<\/p>\n
These gems of Europe\u2019s cultural heritage are in serious danger, some due to lack of resources or expertise, others due to neglect or inadequate planning. Urgent action is therefore needed. Expert missions to the sites will be arranged and feasible action plans submitted by the end of the year. \u2018The 7 Most Endangered\u2019 has the support of the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, as part of Europa Nostra\u2019s network project \u2018Mainstreaming Heritage\u2019.<\/p>\n
In addition, Europa Nostra and the EIB Institute, following a strong recommendation from an international panel of specialists, decided to highlight a heritage treasure of the utmost importance to Europe and the world which is also endangered: the Venice Lagoon in Italy.<\/p>\n
