  abstract = {This Paper explores and criticizes different theories and perceptions concerning  cultural heritage  to explore the definitions of  heritage  throughout history, and questions how the conflicts in considering and identifying  heritage  might have affected the approaches to its conservation. In such process, the paper investigates the relation between  place  and  memory  and how place has been always the medium through which history was written, resulting in two inseparable faces, tangible and the intangible, forming the two-faced coin of  cultural heritage . This research assists understanding the complex construct of heritage places; stressing the growing awareness of intangible heritage s importance, which represents a remarkable turn in heritage conservation realm in the twenty-first century, and emphasizing the notion of heritage as a coefficient of society, which is understood through experience, learnt through performance, and represented through  activities  formed in the present maintaining and developing the identity of place and preserving its spirit, rather than a past oriented vision that tends to  pickle  images from the past in a picturesque manner that is only tourism-oriented.},
