There are 224 monuments of national significance in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine. The State Register of Immovable Monuments of Ukraine classifies cultural heritage monuments as either of local or national significance. To be classified as nationally significant, a monument must have had a substantial impact on the country's culture, be associated with major historical events or individuals who shaped national culture, represent a masterpiece of creative genius, or embody a disappeared civilisation or disappeared artistic style. Monuments of national significance are inscribed on the register by the Cabinet of Ministers, and are protected and maintained by the Ministry of Culture. All listed monuments fall into at least one of the following categories: archaeology, history, monumental art, architecture, urban planning, garden and park art, landscape, or science and technology.
The first attempts to establish registers of protected buildings were undertaken in 1917 and 1918 by the Ukrainian People's Republic. These efforts continued in the 1920s in Soviet Ukraine but were halted in the 1930s with the dissolution of relevant institutions and the active destruction of cultural—particularly religious—heritage. The listing of cultural heritage monuments in the region was renewed in 1956. A list of architectural monuments was approved in 1963, followed by a separate list of artistic, historic, and archaeological monuments in 1965. Both lists remained in use after Ukraine declared independence in 1991. On 8 June 2000, with the adoption of the law "On the Protection of Cultural Heritage", the State Register of Immovable Monuments was established. All entries from the Soviet-era list of artistic, historic, and archaeological monuments were transferred to the new register on 14 September 2009. The transfer of monuments from the Soviet architectural register, however, has proceeded more slowly and remains incomplete as of 2026, although the process has accelerated in recent years. At the same time, a number of sites have been stripped of their protected status to comply with the decommunisation and derussification laws enacted since 2015 and 2023, respectively.
Since Russia's occupation and internationally unrecognised annexation of the peninsula in 2014, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol have been disputed, with most countries recognising the territory as de jure part of Ukraine while de facto it remains under Russian control. On 21 May 2014, the Russian-governed Republic of Crimea declared all Crimean monuments listed on Ukrainian registers to be protected under Russian law. They were subsequently reclassified according to the Russian system, which divides monuments into those of federal, regional, and local (municipal) significance.
The Autonomous Republic of Crimea is divided into ten raions (districts), seven of which—Bakhchysarai, Bilohirsk, Feodosia, Kerch, Simferopol, Yalta, and Yevpatoria—contain 52, 6, 65, 22, 11, 58, and 10 monuments of national significance, respectively. Dzhankoi, Kurman, and Perekop raions have no national monuments. Of the total, 187 are classified as architectural monuments, 27 as historic, 22 as archaeological, 12 as urban planning, 11 as monumental art, and 1 as science and technology, with 24 monuments belonging to multiple categories. The architectural monuments date from the 4th century BCE to the early 20th century CE. The latest additions date to May 2020. One monument—Livadiia Palace—is listed twice. Every monument is assigned a unique protection number, and those of national significance located in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea start with the digits 01.
