In our case, we had the earthquake of 2010. The Council of Monuments prepared an extensive review of the effects of the catastrophe on monuments:
78,5% on Central Chile had damages (0,8% totally destroyed and 30,9% with major damages).[2] One year after, there has been a lot of improvement but still some monuments are being repaired.[3] One of the best examples is the Basilica del Salvador, in downtown Santiago, that hasn't been repaired after the damages of the earthquakes of 1985 and 2010.[4]

Hi Platonides, this is a great idea, but requires much work; we'd probably need to make a crowd-sourcing effort to get at least a small list of such objects. As far as I remember, Emijrp wrote a great essay on the subject last year, so we'll only need to add the list.
I see that the Global Heritage Fund has identified such a list for Syria (see < http://ghn.globalheritagefund.com/uploads/documents/document_2107.pdf%3E), so maybe going in the direction of countries currently engaged in a military conflict (Wikipedia provides us with a list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_military_conflicts) might be a choice.
On the other hand, a Google search for "damaged cultural heritage" (in Polish) directed me to an article on the 2012 Northern Italy earthquakes (at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Northern_Italy_earthquakes), so maybe this direction good help us list some other damaged monuments, too.
Just my three grosze.
Thanks, Tomasz
