Abstract: Abstract This chapter specifically explores the nexus between cultural heritage and territorial identity both conceptually and empirically. A first part of the chapter is dedicated at theoretically describing the connections and associations that link cultural heritage and territorial identity, among others heritage is seen as a source of individual memories, emotions and well-being, as a source of community cohesiveness as well as inspiration for common narratives and political communities. The second part of the chapter is dedicated at empirically explore the relationship between cultural heritage and the four different expressions of territorial identity as identified in Chapter 4 . Through a multilevel multinomial logit model cultural heritage is proved to show strong connections with a sense of belonging to a wider community and to generate a multicultural, flexible and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
