National monuments of Singapore

(Redirected from National Monuments of Singapore)

National monuments of Singapore are sites, buildings and structures in Singapore that have been designated by the National Heritage Board (NHB) as being of special historic, traditional, archaeological, architectural or artistic value. For historical significance (World War II, self-independence of Singapore, transformation and the oldest memories of the structure), these buildings are not allowed to be demolished. The Preservation of Monuments Act gives the board authority to order the preservation of such sites and promote research and public interest in the monuments.

The Padang was gazetted as the 75th national monument in celebration of Singapore's 55th year of independence. National monuments also visible are Fullerton Building, Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, the Former Supreme Court, and the Former City Hall.

The NHB is a statutory board within the Government of Singapore, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and it has so far gazetted 82 sites, buildings and structures, officially listed as 75 national monuments. The latest addition to the list is Padang.[1]

The full list and description of the national monuments are listed on NHB's website Roots.SG.
