Summit Networking Event held at the iconic Eleftheria Square in Nicosia
On 29 May, the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Nicosia hosted a Νetworking Εvent at the iconic Eleftheria Square in the heart of the city to mark the successful conclusion of four inspiring days dedicated to cultural heritage activities and discussions held in Nicosia in the framework of the European Cultural Heritage Summit 2026. The event brought together Summit participants in a welcoming and engaging atmosphere, offering an opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate the achievements of the Summit.
Heritage remained at the heart of the event, reflected in the carefully selected venue, which uniquely combines the historic architecture of the Venetian Walls and the D’Avila Bastion with the contemporary design of Eleftheria Square by Zaha Hadid.
The event opened with the inauguration of the outdoor photo exhibition “Portraits of Women – Beyond the Stones”, presented jointly by ALIPH – International alliance for the protection of heritage and Europa Nostra, which puts a spotlight on women working on the frontlines of cultural heritage protection in fragile and crisis-affected contexts.
During the event, Sneška Quaedvlieg-Mihailović, Secretary General of Europa Nostra, expressed her sincere appreciation to the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Nicosia team for their outstanding collaboration with the Europa Nostra team and for their dedication throughout the organisation of the Summit.
Participants of the Summit enjoyed an evening filled with networking opportunities, music, and entertainment, including a DJ set by Claudio and a live performance by the Time Surfers Band. The event provided a fitting conclusion to a memorable gathering celebrating cultural heritage, collaboration, and community in the heart of Nicosia.
