Anatolia’s Memory is Being Preserved for the Future
Preserving the Cultural Heritage of Turkey
In 2025, the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Museums under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism added 1,581 new archaeological sites and 3,263 immovable cultural assets to the national inventory.
According to a post on the General Directorate’s social media account, “Anatolia’s memory is officially documented.”
The Directorate emphasized that through surveys, research, and inventory work carried out across Turkey, cultural heritage is being scientifically recorded and preserved for future generations.
A Growing National Inventory
Today, approximately 28,000 archaeological sites and 131,000 immovable cultural assets are registered in the national inventory under protection. By 2025, the addition of 1,581 new sites and 3,263 cultural assets strengthens this legacy even further.
This ongoing effort ensures that Anatolia’s millennia-old heritage is passed down with an increasingly robust and comprehensive scientific record. After all, cultural heritage is one of the most valuable legacies forming the shared memory of our nation.
