Division of Monuments according to the categories

• “Cultural Monument of the 1-st Category” is the construction of special

importance for the cultural heritage which is preserved in the entirety of their architectural and technical components1.

1. Compositional and architectural components cannot be changed.

2. Volume composition, architectural treatment of the outer and inner faces as well as the functional solutions (plan arrangements) can’t be changed, 3. Architectural and technical components (construction techniques and materials) cannot be changed 4. The yards, the fences, the outer gate and the supporting structures are an organic part of the monuments and as such, are prone to the same rules.

5. When a part of the monument has been damaged transformed or is missing, complementary interventions can be undertaken, in accordance with the initial state.

6. For Monuments outside the Protected Centres, it is not allowed to build new structures in the properties in the borders of Culture Monuments.

7. For Monuments outside the Protected Centres, it is not allowed to build new structures in the properties in the borders of Culture Monuments.

8. Each case should be analyzed from the National Restoration Council2.

• “Cultural Monument of the 2-nd Category” 1. Second category monuments are buildings with cultural-historic values, mainly as an integral part of the urban-architectural ensemble, which are part of the urban fabric of the village along with their own architectural values.

2. Second Category monuments are kept intact in terms of their initial volumes and architectural treatment both inner and outer in cases when it is necessary to preserve typical environments and elements such as wood carvings, gypsum work, ornaments or valuable architectural furnishings.

3. In the inner parts of second category monuments it is allowed to change the compositional structure as well as the usage of contemporary techniques, without damaging the outer composition2.

2 What is a Historical Centre?

“Historical Centre” is a distinct urban territory, part of a city/village, representative of a historical period or of a development city stage, consisting of elements of intangible cultural heritage which, apart from the urban structure, include architectural, environmental, cultural, historical elements, landscapes within and around the area, archaeological evidence, panoramas, urban profiles, prospects and the points of the reference.

Historical Centres are important areas of historical and cultural value, and as such, they are protected from the law. Every intervention that will be done in Historical Centres should follow the regulations provided in the Decision of Council of Ministers and be approved from the National Territorial Council1.

3 What is a Buffer Zone?

“Buffer zone” is a defined territory with clear boundaries outside the historical centre, the architectural / urban ensemble, the architectural complex and the cultural monument, whose role is the protection of the values of these cultural properties, and the provision of the light, perspective, cultural landscaping, viewing, enjoying and using by the public1.

• surveys that define the structures where preservation and restoration work is going to be done, in order to increase their values, objects in state of decay or inappropriate for the function they hold that affect the urban fabric of the area where it is allowed to intervene as well as the green plots.

• Rehabilitation and preservation or restoration interventions in a series of structures in the Historic Centre which are in state of decay, in order to prevent their further degradation. In cases that the ruins are preserved and represent architectural, compositional values, but affect the ensemble of objects they are part of, reconstruction process can be done on the same volume of the existing structure (circumferential walls), with the main aim of preservation, as much as possible, of the authentic visible inner and outer elements, based on the clear graphic, photographic, based on the typology, architectural treatment, and the original construction technique. In cases that the ruins are less than 3 meters, they must be strengthened and can be re-erected in special occasions, in accordance with the principles mentioned above. The Projects for these interventions must be analyzed and approved by the Scientific Council as well as the National Restoration Council.
