UNESCO Heritage Sites

UNESCO World Heritage Sites are places around the world recognized for their cultural, historical, or natural significance. These sites are selected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) because they represent outstanding value to humanity. They include monuments, cities, landscapes, or ecosystems that require preservation for future generations. Being designated as a World Heritage Site helps protect and promote awareness of their importance, encouraging conservation efforts and tourism that supports local communities and global heritage.
