Palau Register of Historic Places
The Palau Register of Historic Places is an essential service provided by the Bureau of Cultural and Historical Preservation (BCHP), aimed at recognizing, protecting, and preserving Palau’s most significant cultural and historical landmarks.
The Register serves as an official list of sites that have been determined to hold historical, cultural, or architectural value to the nation of Palau. These sites are celebrated for their contributions to understanding the heritage, traditions, and history of Palau’s people.
Through the Palau Register of Historic Places, BCHP ensures that Palau’s most cherished sites are safeguarded for future generations, offering protection, recognition, and a sense of pride for the people of Palau.
