Portuguese Institute Of Architectural Heritage

The Portuguese Institute of Architectural Heritage (IPPAR) was a public institution that for 15 years ( 1992 - 2007 ) regulated the classification of Portuguese heritage buildings, as well as the approval of the level of protection. Due to budget cuts the Architectural Heritage Institute and the Portuguese Institute of Archaeology were combined into one institution. For a short time they continued to use both names, and there is at least one deck of cards with both names attached to it. In 2007 the institution was given the name of Management Institute of Architectural and Arhcaeological Heritage. The World Web Playing Card Museum has 3 decks from this institution and none of them have these courts, though one does have the same jokers.
