Description
Croatia joined manifestation European Heritage Days in 1995 by proclaiming the village of Krapje in Posavina region as
"Architectural heritage village" and where the tradition of celebrating Heritage Days has successfully continued for 15 years. Manifestation’s agenda is accompanied by particular theme programs, meetings and exhibitions. By doing so, activities and institutions that explore and protect cultural heritage are promoted in an appropriate manner (Directorate for Cultural Heritage Protection, Conservation Departments, restoration and museum departments).
This year’s celebration of European Heritage Days in Croatia starts with International Youth Meeting in Dubrovnik from 11th to 18th of September, on the subject of shared cultural heritage of reverence for Knight Orlando. The main event takes place from 25th of September to 2nd of October in Zagreb and Krapje, on an interesting subject of bell-towers and bells named
"Bell-towers – heralds of heritage".
The impulse for the subject arose from conservators’ daily contacts with bell-towers and bells which significantly influence a recognizable image and experience of a town by way of integrating sound and architecture.
Climbing up the bell-tower is a unique and unforgettable experience, which Branko Fučić impressively described in the book
"Old bells in Istria – Terra incognita": "Have you ever climbed up a
bell-tower as a child, out of curiosity? What a world you see! – The
world seen by birds! Roofs and chimneys lie underneath you,
courtyards and gardens stretch, while people work in them. They
can’t see you, but you, hidden inside the bell-tower, watch them
like in the movies. Did it take your breath away when the clock
mechanism got in motion, the wheels squeaked and the clapper
resonantly and blaringly started countdown? Or – when out of the
semi-darkness a little owl, pigeon or bat fluttered off." PROGRAM
