What is the capital of Tunisia?

Why is “une culture” frequently followed by plural verbs?

This sounds like just a statistical anomaly.

In the first of your examples, the subject is “une civilisation, une culture” — which is plural because it’s a civilisation and a culture that took centuries to build up.

In the second of your examples, the subject of “qui font écho” is “des symboles”.

In the 1st sentence, the subjects are “civilisation et culture”. In the 2nd, the subjects are “symboles”. In each case, a plural verb is called for.
