Abstract

The historical center of St. Petersburg is a center of huge agglomeration and one of the largest urban development sites on the UNESCO List. Over the years of the successive development of the city and its surroundings, a unique special code of St. Petersburg is formed and it includes both tangible and intangible components. In international theory and practice of heritage preservation, these components named the attributes of value. Ordinary historical buildings as one of the attributes of the outstanding universal value of World Heritage Site in the same time can transfer us the stages of architectural and urban development of the territory and continue to participate in the formation of a harmonious environment and is one of the most important indicators of its completeness. Historic buildings in St. Petersburg are preserved by St. Petersburg Law № 820-7 “About the boundaries of the united protection zones of cultural heritage sites ...". Currently, the borders of the historical settlement "St. Petersburg" and its protection value, which also includes historical buildings have been developed and approved by the Methodological Council of the Ministry of Culture of Russia. In this case, it seem that the methodology for classification of historical buildings not only relevant, but necessary, and it does not matter what kind of legal instrument for historic building preservation will be taken in future. This methodology is based on three main principles “value, integrity, authenticity”, which are considered in the context of the significance of historical development as an attribute of the outstanding universal value of a World Heritage site.
