Bé d'interès cultural

A Bé d'interès cultural (BIC) is the Andorran name for a National Heritage Site listed by the Andorran heritage register, Patrimoni Cultural.[1]

"Bé d'interès cultural" or "BIC" may refer also in Catalan to Spanish Bien de Interés Cultural

The term literally means "Property of Cultural Interest", although a better translation could be "Heritage of Cultural Interest", as Andorra now protects not only material heritage, like monuments or movable works of art, but also intangible cultural heritage.

Sub-categories
  • Non-movable Andorran heritage is divided into the following classifications:
    • Monument, which as the term monument implies, refers to buildings or other individual constructions such as public art or memorials that have significant cultural value.
    • Conjunt arquitectònic (architectural group or set), grouping of buildings that constitutes a coherent unit, regardless of individual value.
    • Paisatge cultural (cultural landscape), joint work of man and nature with aesthetic, historical or cultural value. E.g. Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley
    • Zona arqueològica (archaeological area), area with traces of human intervention in the past.
    • Zona paleontològica (paleontological area), area with fossilized remains forming a coherent unit.
  • Movable heritage, such archaeological objects, bibliographic heritage, and large works of art.
gollark: (there is no way this can possibly cause problems later)
gollark: I simply do not exercise, except when I do.
gollark: Also eternal youth/relatively good health, but I figure you would basically have to have that for immortality anyway.
gollark: That's higher than average life expectancy basically everywhere, and for much of it you are an old person and unable to do much.
gollark: I mean "immortality" as in "will not randomly die of old age and such", not "live for an infinite amount of time", which would have problems.
