Uzbekistan unesco sites — Uzbekistan UNESCO sites

Uzbekistan UNESCO has registered 5 sites on the World Heritage list and 33 on the tentative list.

Some places are so interesting that it’s relevant to keep them for future generations. This is why UNESCO has built a list of crucial classified properties in which superb places stand out for their aesthetic, natural, artistic, or cultural significance.

More than a thousand places are registered as Unesco’s World Heritage worldwide. Due to my interest in visiting World Heritage sites, I compiled the UNESCO list in Uzbekistan and the corresponding map.
