Astyrian Capital of Culture
The Astyrian Capital of Culture is a city chosen for a three month period to highlight its diverse or otherwise unique culture. The concept was first suggested by Duder Molatiri, the Cadenzan Kerep of Canve, at the E10 Council of Nations as a means of fostering closer regional ties. In recognition of the work undertaken by Molatiri and the Cadenzan government to push for the concept's realisation, the city of Cadenza was named the first, honorary Capital of Culture, for the period of summer 2014.
The designation of a Capital of Culture is a prestigious award for a city, much valued for the potential tourism it can attract. The choice is often made to overlap with regional celebrations, as when in 2014 Cadenza was named Capital of Culture to coincide with its 25th annual Festival of Culture.
