Connecting EU cities, one railway at a time. 
Our #CohesionPolicy has been the bonding agent to help reduce the social and economic disparities in our Union – making it stronger and fairer for every citizen.
Among others, it has supported building transport infrastructure in urban areas, home to over two-thirds of the EU's population.
For example, it helped the construction of 5.1 km of new or renovated rail track and 5 stations in the metro line 1 in Naples.
Have you spotted any EU tag close to cultural sites?
Most probably, they were projects financed by our #CohesionPolicy.
One of its goals is to create local jobs at heritage sites and attract visitors to specific cities and locations.
For example, it helped restore facades and most of the historical buildings in Cittadella at the heart of the Gozo’s island in Malta. Piazzas and streets were also recreated and repaved, making now the medieval citadel look as new!
