This chart compares how many sites each country has on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The figures reflect the number of cultural, natural, and mixed properties inscribed by UNESCO, not a ranking of cultural value. Old cities, city walls, temples, and natural landscapes recognized for preservation are gathered unevenly across countries, and this chart shows where they appear in larger numbers.
