{{Geography of Hong Kong}}
'''Declared monuments of Hong Kong''' are places, structures or buildings legally declared to be "protected". In Hong Kong, declaring a monument requires consulting the Antiquities Advisory Board, the approval of the [[Chief Executive]] as well as the publication of the notice in government gazette.<ref>[http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments.php Leisure and Cultural Services Department - Antiquities and Monuments Office]</ref>
As of May 16, 2008, there are 84 '''declared monuments in [[Hong Kong]]'''<ref>[http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_list.php list]</ref>. Under [[Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance]], some other buildings are classified as Grades I, II and III historic buildings, and are not listed below.
==Statistics==
There is no direct link between graded buildings and monuments. As of [[July 2007]], 607 buildings have been graded (since 1980), 54 of these, including five Grade I buildings, have been demolished. As of August 2007, of 151 buildings classified as Grade I, only 28 pre-war buildings have been declared monuments since 1980.<ref>Una So, [http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=11&art_id=51043&sid=14893111&con_type=1&d_str=20070811&sear_year=2007 Court ruling clears way for Queen's Pier dismantling], [[The Standard]], August 11, 2007</ref>
