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 Slovak Republic ratified the convention on 31 March 1993, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list.[3]
2021年現在[update], there are seven World Heritage Sites in Slovakia.[3] The first three sites in Slovakia were added to the list in 1993. These sites were Vlkolínec, Historic Town of Banská Štiavnica and the Technical Monuments in its Vicinity, and Spišský Hrad. The latter site was extended in 2009 to include Levoča and the associated cultural monuments. The most recent individual site added to the list was the Wooden Churches of the Slovak part of the Carpathian Mountain Area, in 2008. Five sites in Slovakia are cultural and two are natural. The two natural sites are also transnational, Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst are shared with Hungary and Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe are shared with 11 other countries. In addition, Slovakia has 14 sites on the tentative list.[3]
