El patrimonio cultural

Introducción

El patrimonio cultural de España y del mundo hispánico es riquísimo y diverso. A partir del siglo
quince España jugó un papel fundamental en la colonización del ‘nuevo mundo’ – las Américas – y
todavía hoy se aprecia su influencia. También lo que descubrieron los españoles al llegar al aquel
continente lejano ha contribuido a aumentar el patrimonio. Hoy en día, sitios pre-hispánicos como
Machu Picchu o Copán atraen cada año millones de turistas que quieren conocer más sobre las
culturas indígenas de las Américas. En cuanto a las artes, desde las pinturas rupestres de hace unos
14,000 años en la cueva de Altamira en el norte de España, hasta los arquitectos y artistas del siglo
XXI, España y América Latina a menudo se han encontrado en la vanguardia de la cultura.
