Types of Cultural Heritage

According to UNESCO there are two types of heritage:

TANGIBLE (PROPERTIES), which is the heritage that we can actually visit
no matter the time that passes, it will remain the same if we have the
right measures. For example, historical buildings.
INTANGIBLE, which concerns all the cultural practices and expressions of
a country. That makes the heritage variable over time, evolving and
enriching itself, identifying with the current situation of the country where
they are developed.
