<dc:title>The Stonehenge</dc:title>
<dc:subject>Immovable Culture Heritage</dc:subject>
<dc:description>Stonehenge is a heritage site located in Wiltshire, England. It is one of the most important prehistoric monuments in the world, built between 3000 BC and 1600 BC. The monument is made of large standing stones arranged in a circular pattern, using local Sarsen sandstone and imported Bluestone. It is aligned with solar events, which reflects the astronomical knowledge and ritual practices of prehistoric communities. Stonehenge demonstrates impressive prehistoric engineering and organisation.
Digital interpretation is currently used to increase accessibility and awareness. English Heritage provides a 360-degree virtual tour that allows people to explore Stonehenge online. The Skyscape platform shows the real-time movement of the sun, moon and planets above the monument, helping users understand its astronomical importance.
This digital approach supports SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by protecting cultural heritage. It also contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education) through public learning, and to SDG 13 (Climate Action) by offering virtual access that reduces environmental impact caused by tourism.</dc:description>
