Cyprus accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in 1975 and has since inscribed a number of sites primarily recognized for their cultural significance.
These sites commonly reflect themes such as ancient history, religious heritage, and Byzantine art and architecture. The focus is on preserving the island’s diverse cultural landscape, which spans prehistoric settlements, classical antiquity, and medieval periods.
