Albania

3.25 4 4

Albania ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 10 July 1989 and has predominantly nominated cultural sites, with some mixed natural–cultural inscriptions.

Its nominations commonly emphasize themes such as classical and medieval archaeological heritage, Ottoman-era urban architecture, and historic religious-cultural landscapes. More recent inclusions reflect the country’s ecological diversity, particularly transnational natural sites like primeval forests and lake regions.
