A '''national monument''' is a [[monument]] constructed in order to commemorate something of importance to national heritage, such as [[Statism|a country's founding]], [[independence]], [[war]], or the life and death of a [[historical figure]].<br />
<br />
The term may also refer to a specific [[monument]] status, such as a [[national heritage site]], by reason of their cultural importance rather than age (''see [[National Monument (United States)]]'').<br />
<br />
National monument status is usually granted to colossal symbols of [[national identity]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
Structures or areas deemed to be of national importance and afforded protection by the state are part of a country's [[cultural heritage]]. These national heritage sites are often called something different per country and are listed by national conservation societies. [[Romania]] has listed at least one plant as a national monument, [[Nymphaea lotus f. thermalis|''Nymphaea lotus'' f. ''thermalis'']].<ref name="journal">{{Cite journal|last=Veler|first=Ana|date=November 2008|title=Nymphaea lotus up north, naturally|journal=[[Water Gardeners International]]|location=[[Bucharest]], [[Romania]]|volume=3|issue=4|url=http://www.watergardenersinternational.org/journal/3-4/ana/page1.html|access-date=9 August 2014}}</ref><br />
