World Heritage, Turkiye - (Vienna)

Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.
For over 25 years, the United Nations Postal Administration has issued stamps featuring UNESCO World Heritage sites. For the 2023 series, UNPA features six sites in Türkiye.
