World Heritage Sites - Master Data: Year-, Country- and Region-wise Name, Area and other details of Sites Inscribed, since 1978

The dataset contains year-, country- and region-wise historically compiled data on the World Heritage Sites (WHS) inscribed by United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) with details such as name, area, latitude, longitude, the selection criteria, and other details of each of the declared WHS. Note: The selection criteria column in the dataset represents cultural category from numerical values (i) to (vi) and natural category from (vii) to (x). These are the categories by which UNESCO declares particular sites as WHS. The details of these categories are explained in the UNESCO's official documents
