Treasureland is an integral part of the great treasury of Europe and the world.
Imagine the world cultural treasury as an age-old tree. It has seven large branches, which symbolize the seven continents on Earth.
South Eastern Europe is part of Europe. Let us symbolize it as a branch of the large branch of the continent.
Each leaf on this branch is different and individual. It seems completely independent but is firmly connected to the tree. The leaf is fed from the branch on which it grew and on which it develops. In turn, the branch feeds from the larger branch, firmly connected with the trunk.
The same can be said of our cultural heritage. Each treasure of South Eastern Europe is firmly linked to the heritage of Europe and the world.
