The word patrimony means the property that is inherited from the previous generations. Our ancestors pass down something to us and that is called patrimony. Culture as we all know means the aspects such as rituals, beliefs, norms, traditions, music, literature of human society. In an all comprehensive term it can be defined as the “way of life” of a particular society. So cultural patrimony comes to mean heritage inherited by a society. This heritage can be intangible or tangible.
