Bien de Interés Cultural

A Bien de Interés Cultural is a category of the heritage register in Spain. The term is also used in Venezuela, and other Spanish speaking countries. The term literally means "Good (in the sense of economics) of Cultural Interest", although a better translation could be "Heritage of Cultural Interest", as Spain protects not only material heritage, like monuments or movable works of art, but also intangible cultural heritage. An example of intangible cultural heritage which now enjoys protection is the Silbo Gomero language.
