La Noche del Patrimonio is an international cultural and artistic event held across Spain’s 15 UNESCO World Heritage cities. Organized around their historic centres, the event invites residents and visitors to experience heritage through contemporary art, history, creativity and community participation. Its programme includes La Noche, with cultural activities across the participating cities, and Escena Patrimonio, a festival and platform for contemporary choreographic creation in heritage settings. The event also offers parallel activities, educational workshops and opportunities for citizen participation, with programmes tailored to individual cities and audiences.

Open to all ages, the event is free, inclusive and committed to sustainability. Its accessibility measures include adaptations for people with reduced mobility, sign language and easy-read information. The initiative also encourages younger generations to engage with cultural heritage through diverse, participatory experiences. Participating cities include Alcalá de Henares, Córdoba, Santiago de Compostela, Toledo and Ibiza/Eivissa, among others. La Noche del Patrimonio brings cultural life into historic spaces while promoting a thoughtful and accessible relationship with Spain’s shared heritage.
