The Fortress of Culture Šibenik

Obiettivi:

This initiative is an example of an integrated approach to cultural heritage management that combines preservation, community engagement and environmental sustainability (The Fortress of Culture Šibenik, 2025). The Fortress of Culture Šibenik manages several historic fortresses in the city and transforms them into vibrant cultural spaces. This model not only preserves the structural integrity and historical significance of the fortresses, but also revitalizes them as centres for cultural events, education and tourism. In this way, the local economy is boosted and the participation of the population is encouraged.

An important aspect of this initiative is its commitment to environmental sustainability. Management implements environmentally friendly practices, such as waste reduction and recycling programs, and promotes environmental awareness through various events and educational programs. This holistic approach ensures that the preservation of cultural heritage goes hand in hand with sustainable development goals. The participatory management model chosen by the Fortress of Culture Šibenik includes stakeholders from the city administration, local non-governmental organizations and the institution itself (The Fortress of Culture Šibenik, 2025).
