Spanish term or phrase: conjunto historico
From a tourist guide.

I have a good idea what this means and a couple of possible translations for it but if anyone is aware of the exact equivalent in English terminology (I am using British English for this but US could also be helpful to know) then it would make me feel more confident about picking one.

Actually, if anyone is also aware of the exact translation for 'Bien' (Property/Object/Good??) that would also be helpful.

a national / world heritage site


Explanation:
The British term is National Trust site, but that is only for the UK as the "Trust" is a specific institution. If UNESCO has also granted it heritage status, then "World Heritage site" fits. If it is only a national site, "National Heritage site" will suit.

(the "bien de interés cultural" has no equivalent and is generally not translated.)
