The register brings together sites, buildings and areas of significant artistic, scientific, civilizational or cultural value, or those that represent an important historical period or event in Arab civilization. Countries nominate sites for inclusion in the register, but they undergo a technical assessment by a specialized committee, according to ALECSO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the BNA report, Bab Al Bahrain was built in 1949 on Manama\u2019s former waterfront and served as a gateway to the capital and its historic market. It remains one of the city\u2019s most prominent architectural landmarks. The Manama Municipality building, meanwhile, was established in 1919 and reflects Bahrain\u2019s pioneering role in municipal administration in the Arab Gulf region, according to the news agency. The building has undergone recent restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read also<\/em>:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/study-supports-bahrains-alba-decarbonization\/\">Study supports Bahrain\u2019s Alba decarbonization<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-419199\">Bahrain News Agency<\/div><div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-419201\">Bahrain News Agency<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A building at the entrance to Manama\u2019s souq and the capital\u2019s municipal headquarters have been registered as architectural and urban heritage sites by an organization affiliated with the Arab League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":419199,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[50638,19629,3971,54350,2323,32609,58498,9692,58499],"class_list":{"0":"post-419206","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-culture","8":"tag-arab-league-2","9":"tag-architecture-en","10":"tag-bahrain","11":"tag-historic-sites","12":"tag-history","13":"tag-manama-3-en","14":"tag-municipality-2","15":"tag-tourism-en","16":"tag-urban-heritage"},"wps_subtitle":"A building at the entrance to Manama\u2019s souq and the capital\u2019s municipal headquarters have been registered as architectural and urban heritage sites by an organization affiliated with the Arab League.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419206"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":419208,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419206\/revisions\/419208"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
