Cultural Heritage (Template:Lang-sr; lit. "Immovable Cultural Goods") are national heritage sites in Serbia (including Kosovo[a]) which are covered by Serbia's Law on Cultural Heritage.[1] Some of them are also World Heritage Sites.

The preservation and protection of cultural heritage sites in Serbia is entrusted to the National Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments.[2] The Institute maintains the Central Register of Cultural Heritage.[3] The Register currently lists 2,458 heritage sites classified in four categories: cultural monuments, archaeological sites, historic landmarks and spatial cultural-historical units. 200 of those are classified as being "of exceptional importance",[4] and thus entitled to the highest level of protection. Further 582 are classified as being "of great importance",[5] while the rest are "unclassified".[3]

Cultural Heritage of Exceptional Importance

Those sites enjoy the highest level of the state protection, as defined by the Law. In order to be on the list, properties must meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • Embodies special significance pertaining to the social, historical and cultural development of peoples in the nation's history and development of the nation's natural environment;
  • Testifies to crucial historical events and personalities and their activities in the nation's history;
  • Is a unique or rare representation of the human creativity of a certain time period or a unique example from natural history;
  • Exhibits exceptional artistic or aesthetic value.

List

The register of 2,458 sites and localities[3] is divided into twelve categories:

of Exceptional Importance of Great Importance Protected
Archaeological sites List List List
Cultural monuments List List List
Historic landmarks List List List
