The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972.[1] Cultural heritage consists of monuments (such as architectural works, monumental sculptures, or inscriptions), groups of buildings, and sites (including archaeological sites). Natural features (consisting of physical and biological formations), geological and physiographical formations (including habitats of threatened species of animals and plants), and natural sites which are important from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty, are defined as natural heritage.[2]

The first sites on the territory of the present Czech Republic were inscribed at the 16th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Santa Fe, United States in 1992, when the country was part of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic (also known as Czechoslovakia). At that session, three sites were added: Historic Centre of Prague, Historic Centre of Český Krumlov and Historic Centre of Telč.[3]

With the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on January 1, 1993, the country was split into the Czech Republic (also known as Czechia) and Slovakia. The Czech Republic officially adopted the convention on March 26, 1993, inheriting those three sites. 2021年現在, there are 14 sites inscribed on the list and a further 17 sites on the tentative list. All of these sites are of the cultural type and one of them, the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region, is shared with Germany. The most recent site added to the list was the Landscape for Breeding and Training of Ceremonial Carriage Horses at Kladruby nad Labem, in 2019.[4]

World Heritage Sites[編集]

UNESCO lists sites under ten criteria; each entry must meet at least one of the criteria. Criteria i through vi are cultural, whereas vii through x are natural.[5]
