"The United Nations’ Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
this week released its list of new World Heritage sites for 2022 and
2023—places that are recognized for their cultural, historical, natural, and
scientific significance in the world. In the past, sites as renowned as the Taj
Mahal, the Acropolis of Athens, Yellowstone National Park, Machu Picchu, and
Serengeti National Park, to name a few, have been added to this elite list. All
told, there are now 1,172 sites—42 of which were just named this week and
last—that make up the list of global UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Among the newly inscribed group are an archaeological cemetery site in South
Korea, a roadside inn in Iran, and a famed hop-growing region in Czechia.
To be considered for UNESCO status, nominated sites must be of “outstanding
universal value” and meet at least one of the 10 selection criteria, which
range from representing “a masterpiece of human creative genius” to being
“directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas,
or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal
significance.”
Here are the new additions to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2023."
