Résumé en anglais
This paper will present the rapid and profoundchanges of cultural heritage and landscape throughout the
past and present days, especially the loss of spirit of tangibleand intangible heritage on the North Adriatic coast. In spite
of the fact that archaeologists became aware that they have a
responsibility to be sensitive to intangible heritage too,because cultural heritage without any intangible aspects does
not exist. In early seventies of the last Century“touristification” in the region around Portoro lead to the
destruction and abandonment of many cultural sites andconnected intangible culture not only from ancient times but
also from medieval and especially those from the beginningof the 20th. Forty years ago the concept of sustainability
development of cultural heritage values was very weaklydeveloped, the evaluation of cultural heritage was in the
beginning and there was no public influence and awareness.
