ATLAS · WORLD HERITAGE
Every World Heritage Site on Earth
The 1,244 places the world agreed are irreplaceable, on one map: every site on UNESCO’s World Heritage List — the 969 cultural sites (cities, monuments, ruins), the 234 natural ones (parks, reefs, volcanoes), and the 41 that are both — spread across 166 countries. Each point is coloured by type, and the 57 sites currently listed as World Heritage in Dangerare ringed in red. From UNESCO’s official list, a snapshot taken 2026-06-22.
What the colours mean
Every site is tinted by its type. Charge-blue marks culturalsites — the built heritage of cities, temples, monuments and archaeological ruins. Radar-green is natural heritage — national parks, coral reefs, mountains and fossil sites. Watch-amber is the rare mixed sites that qualify as both at once. A red ring marks a site listed as World Heritage in Danger. What “outstanding universal value” actually means, and how a place gets on (or struck off) the List, is worth two minutes:

About this data
Sites, types and coordinates come from UNESCO’s official World Heritage List. This is the authoritative, inscribed set — it does notinclude the larger Tentative List of sites that countries have proposed but that have not (yet) been inscribed. Each site is placed at UNESCO’s primary coordinate; a handful of serial sites span several locations or countries, and we note when a site is shared. The map shows where heritage is and what kind — it is a dated snapshot of the List, not a live feed, and we refresh it periodically rather than calling UNESCO on every visit.
