20 perspectives on monuments protection

The publication "20 years with monuments protection" maps the period of twenty years of activity of the Žilina Regional Monuments Office (2002 – 2022). The collective of authors - Žilina preservationists - tries to bring their work closer to the public and show the beauty and complexity of the entire monument discipline.

The book is divided into 20 chapters that deal with a specific type of national cultural monuments and their restoration - castles, castle ruins, churches and monasteries, synagogues, calvaries and small sacral architecture, mansions and mansions, historical parks and gardens, folk architecture, technical monuments ... A special space is dedicated to archaeological, architectural and artistic finds and restoration, and finally to defunct and newly registered monuments.

Part of the graphically interesting publication is a foreword and afterword and a selection from the literature, which includes traditional bibliographic sources, editions corresponding to the topic and monument research and restoration documentation. The entire text is accompanied by a number of impressive photos and illustrations. This publication is a contribution to the twentieth anniversary of the activity of our monument institution as a specialized office in the field of monument fund protection (since 2002) and at the same time a reminder of seven decades of its continuous existence (since 1951).
