Bahrain Fort’s role as a cultural and economic hub in the region came under the spotlight at a special seminar organised to mark the 20th anniversary of the site being designated as a Unesco World Heritage Site. The event was held in Paris on the sidelines of the 47th session of the World Heritage Committee which continues until Wednesday. The seminar was part of the kingdom’s efforts to raise global awareness of the Bahrain Fort as an exceptional archaeological site, the heart of the ancient Dilmun Civilisation, and a living testament to the flourishing successive civilisations in Bahrain.
