This exhibition has been created by European Federation of Napoleonic Cities – Destination Napoleon as part of Destination Napoleon European Week 2023.
The European Federation of Napoleonic Cities – Destination Napoleon brings together more than 50 European cities whose history has been marked by Napoleonic influence. The Federation stems from the desire of municipalities to place their Napoleonic historical heritage in its European dimension. The cross-reading of particularly important and contrasting pages of the history of the countries of Europe is intended to be a major contribution to the common culture of the peoples and to the definition of our shared heritage. Since 2015, the European dimension and relevance of Destination Napoleon is recognized by the “Cultural Route of the Council of Europe” certification.
