The Mediterranean region is the cradle of the oldest civilizations and great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is a place where many mental currents and achievements in art and technology radiate. It is a theatre of political, military, economic and social events. In reflection on the cultural shape of western civilization, basic concepts will be discussed: culture, heritage, identity. In this context, three lines of ancient traditions will be recalled, the symbols of which are the hills / cities: Acropolis / Athens; Capitoline / Rome; Golgotha / Jerusalem. Knowledge of the cultural origins of Europe is the basis of knowledge about the European identity; a sign of respect for the values of the community and the historical memory of the Christians heritage.
