The National Monuments of Mexico refers to the buildings and monuments that are protected heritage of the nation, and are declared as such in the Registro Público de Monumentos y Zonas Arqueológicos e Históricos maintained by the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia and the Registro Público de Monumentos y Zonas Artísticos maintained by the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura.[1]

## Archeological monuments and zones

[edit]

"Archaeological" refers to paleontological and pre-Hispanic structures, zones, remnants, etc.[1]

## Historical monuments

[edit]

"Historical" refers to post-Conquest 16th- to 19th-century structures, zones, documents, etc.[1]

Due to their importance in Mexico's art history, all works by José María Velasco Gómez, Dr. Atl, José Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera were declared historical monuments.[2]

## Artistic monuments

[edit]

"Artistic" refers to properties that are of significant aesthetic value.[1] The valuation of aesthetic value is left to the Comisión Nacional de Zonas y Monumentos Artísticos (National Commission of Artistic Zones and Monuments). This commission is composed of the Director of INBAL, a representative of the Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano y Ecología, a representative of UNAM, and three individuals affiliated with the arts picked by the Director.[1]

Some works from artists such as Frida Kahlo, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Remedios Varo have been deemed artistic monuments.[2]
