It begins by highlighting the rich architectural, artistic, and liturgical heritage generated by religious orders over centuries, often intertwined with the unique spiritual and social values of the communities that produced them. The article underscores the importance of understanding how these religious assets - ranging from buildings and movable objects to archives and libraries - bear witness to the evolving religious practices and histories of monastic life. We propose to delve into the impact of the suppression of religious orders in the 19th and 20th centuries, which led to the fragmentation and dispersion of these invaluable resources. Despite challenges in tracking and preserving these elements, there should be renewed focus on their cultural valorisation through interdisciplinary research and modern technological tools. Special attention is given to the integration of archives, libraries, and museums, which can collectively enhance the historical narrative of religious communities. Additionally, the article examines the intersections of cultural heritage with gender, spirituality, and intercultural dialogue. It concludes by stressing the need for a comprehensive, collaborative approach to safeguard and reframe religious heritage as a vital cultural resource, contributing to both local and global historical understanding.]]></p></abstract>
