context_page_description: The cultural monuments of the Czech Republic are protected properties designated by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. Cultural monuments that constitute the most important part of the Czech cultural heritage may be declared national cultural monuments by a regulation of the Government of the Czech Republic. Government may also proclaim a territory, whose character and environment is determined by a group of immovable cultural monuments or archaeological finds, as a whole, as a monument reservation. Ministry of Culture may proclaim a territory of a settlement with a smaller number of cultural monuments, historical environment or part of a landscape area that display significant cultural values as a monument zone.
  As of 2019 there are 14 Czech cultural monuments on the World Heritage List.
context_section_description: Areas with sets of immovable cultural monuments preserved in the original historical environment or sites with archaeological finds can be declared as conservation areas. These are mainly the historical town or village centers. The Government of the Czech Republic defines them by government decree. In the Czech Republic there are urban, village and  archaeological monument reservations.
  The urban monument reservation is a selected part of the historic city center with preserved buildings (or their ensembles) and urban infrastructure (fountains, sculptures, etc.) without significant intrusive constructional interventions from the modern era. The designation protects not only the individual buildings, but also the historical floor plan, the urban structure, panorama, etc. In 2013 there were a total of 40 cities which were declared as an urban monument reservation. The largest among them is the Prague monument reservation, followed by the Brno and the Olomouc  reservations. The monument reservations are proclaimed by the government.
  The village  monument reservation  is an area with preserved buildings of folk character, e.g. villages, workers' colonies or suburban districts with folk architecture. The most valued feature of such areas is the preserved (or only minimally disturbed) urban structure. There have been 61 village conservation areas  established in the Czech Republic and their character differs by region.
  The  archaeological monument reservation preserves the archaeological sites. As of 2019 there are eight such sites in the Czech republic, all but one of which are hill-forts.
