On Sunday 18 October, the Route of the Romanesque once again celebrated Heritage Carer Day.

This year, as a symbolic token of gratitude for the many services rendered to the community and to the conservation of cultural heritage, the Heritage Carers of the Route of the Romanesque were presented with a ceramic vase.

Some photographs of this moment can be seen here.

On October 18, 2020, the day of Saint Luke, the patron saint of doctors, the Rota do Romanesque, in an unprecedented initiative in Portugal, celebrated Heritage Carer Day for the first time.

Since then, it has been carrying out several associated activities, including, among others, the creation of a thematic digital channel, intergenerational meetings with the school community, conferences to disseminate good practices, an exhibition and a photo book.

The project Heritage Carers, in 2022, won the TRANSROMANICA and APOM (Innovation and Creativity category) prizes.
