Riwaq (Arabic: رواق) or Centre for Architectural Conservation is a center for the preservation of architectural heritage on the West Bank in Palestine. The organization is based in Ramallah and owes its name mainly to a riwaq, which is an arcade in Islamic architecture. Riwaq was founded in 1991 with the aim to preserve cultural heritage. Researchers of the center have compiled a detailed register of historic buildings in Palestine. Buildings at this location are frequently threatened by military occupation and counter actions of inhabitants. In the course of twenty years since its foundation, Riwaq had completed more than one hundred restoration projects, including major monuments in the Old City of Jerusalem and the renovation of historic streets in the historical part of Bethlehem.
