List of World Heritage Sites in Serbia

This article is about a World Heritage Site
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The List of World Heritage Sites in Serbia is a group of places chosen by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

UNESCO was created for the "conservation and protection of the world’s inheritance of books, works of art and monuments of history and science". The constitution of UNESCO was ratified in 1946 by 26 countries.[1]

Serbia agreed to take part in the World Heritage Convention in 2001.[2]

The World Heritage Site (WHS)[3] list has developed over time. It is part of a process; and the list continues to grow.

There are four WHS places in Serbia.[4]
