Cultural heritage includes traditions, objects, and places passed down through generations. It can be physical, like buildings and monuments, or non-physical, like language and customs. These elements help show how people lived in the past.

Examples include traditional clothing, music, festivals, and historic landmarks such as temples or castles. In Japan, tea ceremonies are part of cultural heritage, while in Mexico, Day of the Dead celebrations are widely recognized.

Governments and organizations work to protect cultural heritage. It is studied in schools, museums, and communities as part of identity and history.
