Antiquities Law safeguards historic sites
The legal provisions in the Antiquities Protection Law focus on safeguarding historic buildings of archaeological significance. Such buildings are registered by a decision from the Minister based on the recommendation of the Board of Management and with the approval of the relevant committee. As a result, strict restrictions are imposed on demolishing or disposing of them. The law prohibits demolishing the property, removing it from the country, or expropriating it without the approval of the Board of Management and the specialized committee. It also forbids granting easements or rights of use to third parties on these properties. Additionally, the law requires owners to obtain permits before carrying out any renovations or modifications that alter the building’s features, and any actions taken with regard to the property must be reported to the authority. The authority has the right to maintain the property or carry out any necessary works at its own expense at any time. Neither individuals nor entities can acquire ownership of archaeological properties through prescription. If necessary, the properties may be evacuated in exchange for fair compensation.
