A building protected by law for its historic or artistic value; it has a code in the national List of Historic Monuments.
Litera „A” din cod înseamnă monument de interes național, „B” — de interes local. Orice lucrare la un monument istoric (restaurare, renovare) are nevoie de aviz de la Ministerul Culturii. Multe lăcașuri de cult din România sunt monumente istorice, iar unele fac parte din Patrimoniul Mondial UNESCO.
