The 7 Most Endangered programme identifies endangered monuments and sites in Europe and mobilises public and private partners on a local, national and European level to find a viable future for those sites. Since its launch in 2013, some 110 monuments and heritage sites were nominated, out of which 53 were shortlisted by an advisory panel of experts and 29 were selected by the Europa Nostra Board. The selected sites come from 19 European countries, of which 14 are EU Member States.
The programme was launched in 2013 by Europa Nostra, the leading European heritage network,with the European Investment Bank Institute as founding partner and the Council of Europe Development Bank as an initial associate member and is supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
