Special national and national monuments
State-ranked monuments, grouped by the 34 provinces and cities after the 2025 merger. This is the RANKING procedure under the Law on Cultural Heritage, distinct from the INSCRIPTION procedure that applies to intangible heritage.

How much of the catalogue this page covers
Read this before quoting any figure from the page.
Nearly complete. The gap of 3 comes from the source contradicting itself between its summary table and its detailed list, not from missing data.
Just over half — roughly 1.829 entries are still missing. The Department's own catalogue currently shows only 6 entries, so the remainder cannot be traced to any official source.
The Department's catalogue of special national monuments stopped at a decision dated 24/12/2018 with 107 entries — 46 short, and nearly eight years without an update. This is the same pattern seen in the intangible heritage catalogue, which stopped on 08/5/2023.
The four monument types under the Law on Cultural Heritage
Select a type to filter the list below.
A monument may belong to several types at once — that is the legal reality, not a data error. The type written in the ranking decision is kept verbatim; grouping into four categories is inferred for lookup purposes.
Intangible heritage is a separate catalogue
A monument is RANKED on a scientific dossier about a place or structure. Intangible heritage is INSCRIBED for a practice held by a community, and under Article 23 of the Law on Intellectual Property it grants exclusivity to no one. Two catalogues, two legal procedures, not interchangeable.
