In his capacity as General Conservator o f Historical Monuments, the author discusses the development o f the philosophy o f conservation and shares his reflections about the twentieth-century transformations o f the concepts o f „conservation” and „historical monuments”. A presentation o f the inner development o f conservation within the cultural-social and political-economic context comprises a foundation for indicating paths for resolving the critical situation. These paths entail: preventive conservation, the protection o f the landscape/cultural/historical environment, integral conservation, as well as conservation via documentation. Interesting predictions concerning the future o f conservation and cultural property are summed up in expectations vis a vis the strategy for an international protection o f cultural property; at the same time, the author declares that the progress o f the political and economic unification o f Europe could predestine our small Continent to play a leading role in setting up strategic methods and systems that, following their modification, could serve other continents. Unfortunately, the activity o f European organizations (the Council o f Europe, the European Union, the UNESCO European programme, and others) as regards the protection of cultural property is neither coordinated or sufficiently based on the experiences and activity o f men o f science.
