The culture of Europe is rooted in its art, architecture, film, different types of music, economics, literature, and philosophy. European culture is largely rooted in what is often referred to as its "common cultural heritage". Definition There were a great number of perspectives which can be taken on the subject, it is impossible to form a single, all-embracing conception of European culture.
