In Spain, the Bien de Interés Cultural category dates from 1985 when it replaced the former heritage category of Monumento nacional (national monument) to extend protection to a wider range of cultural property."[4] Monumentos are now identified as one of the sub-categories of Bien de Interés Cultural.[5] Under the Spanish system, regions maintain their registers of cultural heritage (see Patrimonio histórico español).[7] Madrid's regional government considers that bullfighting events should be protected as cultural heritage.[8] In contrast, in Catalonia a ban on bullfighting came into effect in 2012, although this was later overturned by the Supreme Court.
