Abstract. The indoor aeromycobiota contaminating 45 monumental places in Minia Governorate were surveyed during the period from July 2008 to August 2009.The sedimentation plate method along with potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium containing 65 ppm rose bengal were used. A total of 56 fungal species related to 28 genera were obtained from all sampling sites which were chosen to cover four historic eras (16 Pharaonic, 9 Greek Roman, 8 Coptic and 12 Islamic). The major fungal components were Aspergillus (10 species), Penicillium (5 species), Alternaria (3 species), Cladosporium (2 species), Mucor (3 species), Ulocladium (3 species) and Phoma (1 species). These fungi are thought to be responsible for the biodeterioration of limestone and woody elements of these historic places. Key words: Monumental places, aeromycobiota, Minia, Egypt.
