The Mediaeval Places - cultural tourism project is open to those offering accommodation with genuine mediaeval origins.
Accommodation owners or managers who wish to join the Mediaeval Heritage Accommodation circuit share the project's objectives, which are as follows:

• to promote the historical identity, uniqueness and perceived quality of the circuit, the brand and of each single member offering accommodation.
• to promote the concept of "mediaeval tourism".
• to internationalize the circuit and the project.
• to extend accommodation demand throughout the year.
• to create customer loyalty in a target market of guests who share the "values" of authenticity, history, uniqueness and quality.
• to communicate consistency and total respect of historical identity and quality of the offer - uncompromisingly.

Each member structure receives a Certificate of Authenticity of its mediaeval origins, confirming its membership of the Mediaeval Heritage Accommodation.

The certificate is granted by the Board of Trustees of the Associazione MusiKé
, which includes a historian of mediaeval architecture, a historian of miniatures and minor arts and a historian of art criticism. The certificate comprises:

• a letter certifying authenticity


• a Plexiglass plaque to be hung near the entrance to the structure, bearing the
  Mediaeval Heritage Accommodation logo.

Owners and/or managers of accommodation wishing to join Mediaeval Heritage Accommodation must complete the "Application for Membership" form (see Contacts).
Notes:

• 1) Submission of the form is not binding - it merely starts the selection process of structures wishing to join;
• 2) The form is received by the Board of Trustees of the Associazione MusiKé who decide whether requirements are met;
• 3) If requirements are met, an e-mail is sent to the structure, to start the real process of membership, requesting:
• 4 photos of internal and external features, with emphasis on architectural details held to be from the Middle Ages;
• Copies of archival documents or, if unavailable, of historical references (local history), confirming that the building existed during the conventionally recognised mediaeval period: 5th to 15th centuries;
• Payment of membership fee for new members;
In the case of insufficient documentation, the Board of Trustees may request an inspection by experts on site.


• 4) The Letter of Authenticity, plaque and brochures will only be sent on receipt by Associazione MusiKé of the annual membership fee (see table below);
