Heritage Commission Registers 3,202 New Sites to National Urban Heritage Register

The Heritage Commission has announced the registration of 3,202 new sites in the National Urban Heritage Register, bringing the total number of registered sites to 28,202, reflecting the richness of Saudi heritage, as part of its efforts to document and protect heritage sites.
The newly registered heritage sites included 16 in Riyadh, 8 in Makkah, 1 in Qassim, 2 in the Eastern Region, 3170 in Aseer, 2 in the Hail region, 1 in Najran, and 2 in Al-Baha, according to SPA.
This registration was based on the Antiquities, Museums, and Urban Heritage Law and the decision of the Heritage Commission's Board of Directors, which authorized its CEO to register heritage and archaeological sites to protect their historical and cultural value.
The Heritage Commission urged citizens and residents to report heritage sites that may not yet be registered within the framework of enhancing cooperation with the community through the Balagh platform, its official social media accounts, and its branches spread in all regions of the Kingdom, as a means of facilitating everyone's contribution to this national work.
