UNESCO World Heritage Sites
UNESCO maintains a list of 1,248 sites of 'outstanding universal value' across 170 countries — cultural treasures (Pompeii, Angkor, the Great Wall), natural wonders (the Galápagos, Great Barrier Reef, Yellowstone) and 41 'mixed' sites combining both. Inscribed since 1978. This map plots all of them with photos and inscription years, sourced directly from the UNESCO official feed. Squares for cultural, triangles for natural, stars for mixed.
