Churches, Cinemas — and Moon Artifacts — Top List of Endangered Monuments
The 2025 World Monument Watch list features a non-terrestrial site for the first time.
A baroque church, a modernist cinema, irrigation systems and indigenous trading paths all feature on a new list of world heritage sites in danger.
Published every two years by the World Monuments Fund (WMF), the 2025 World Monument Watch list also breaks entirely new ground by including in its 25-entry list a site at risk that isn’t even on Earth: the Moon, or more specifically the remnants of early landings left on its surface by astronauts.
