Portuguese term or phrase: a cidade foi tombada pelo patrimônio histórico.
A cidade de Ouro Preto foi tombada pelo Patrimônio Histórico Nacional e é considerada patrimônio mundial.
Cybeles Lehner
Brazil
the city was registered as a historic site by the National Heritage Council
Explanation:
Tombo é Registro.

O Livro do Tombo era o Livro do Registro.

Por extensão, tombamento (que era a simples inclusão de um registro no livro) passou a ser entendido como o Estado colocar sob a sua guarda, "para os conservar e proteger (bens móveis e imóveis cuja conservação e proteção sejam do interesse público, por seu valor histórico, ou artístico, ou arqueológico, ou etnográfico, ou paisagístico ou bibliográfico)" (Aurélio).
De acordo com o Black's Law Dictionary, "historic site" é "any building, structure, area or property that is significant in the history, architecture, archeology or culture of a State, its communities or the Nation and has been so designated pursuant to statute. Such structure are commonly statutorily protected and cannot be altered without permission of the appropriate authorities."

Prezado Sr. José Vidigal,

Muito grata pela tradução e principalmente pela explanação que muito me ajudou.

Pelo que entendi "Patrimônio Histórico" seria mellhor traduzido como "National Heritage Council" e Patrimônio da Humanidade" seria "World Heritage List"... é isso mesmo?

Fiz a tradução da frase em negrito, não da frase toda. Nem tinha visto a frase de baixo. Só depois que vc chamou a atenção é que vi o tal do Patrimônio Histórico Nacional.

disagree  Jose Vidigal: É um pouco diferente ser tombada de ser declarada Patrimônio Nacional da Humanidade, ao que se refere sua citação. São dois conceitos jurídicos diferentes. O tombamento foi feito pelo Patrimônio Histórico Nacional. Outro, pela Unesco. (Acabou o espaço)
