About CIIC

El Comité Internacional de Itinerarios Culturales (CIIC) is one of ICOMOS International Scientific Committees.
It was born thanks to a group of ICOMOS members from very diverse regions, who, from the submission and subsequent nomination as a World Heritage of the Camino de Santiago in 1993, were given the task of delineating and defining this new category to establish a methodology appropriate to the meaning of this concept.

CIIC has cooperated closely with other international ICOMOS committees to support them in identifying and documenting heritage sites that fall within the multidisciplinary context of Cultural Routes, thus having an important role in the expansion from this new experience to all areas of the world, making Cultural Routes an element of interest in the maintenance and promotion of Peace.

Cultural Routes

The scientific meetings aim to open the doors of CIIC to ICOMOS professionals and emerging professionals around the world, in order to show the meaning and importance of each category of heritage and distinguish new talent whose affinity makes them close to this subject of research.

Doctrinal Documents Collection

After 50 years of UNESCO recognizing ICOMOS as the cultural heritage assessor, at least twenty-nine cultural heritage categories have been considered to be led by the respective scientific committees. This is how the analysis of Cultural Routes, a new category of heritage, was born. CIIC thus has letters, statements, recommendations and doctrinal texts produced over the years.
