Heritage Commission completes coding of 4,000 architectural heritage sites

RIYADH —The Saudi Heritage Commission announced on Monday the completion of the coding of 4,000 architectural heritage sites.

According to the commission, coding is the final phase in registering architectural heritage sites. A plaque bearing a QR code is installed, identifying the site and linking it to the architectural heritage register.

The commission clarified that this step implies documenting heritage sites through their registration and classification within an official national site register, in addition to enhancing their protection. This ensures the sustainability of the sites through the archaeology and architectural heritage system.
