About this dataset
- This map contains 1,378 named Wikidata records with point coordinates.
- Records have World Heritage Site status and a UNESCO World Heritage list identifier. Records with an end date for that designation are excluded, as is the delisted Arabian Oryx Sanctuary. Serial sites can have component records.
- Use the points to compare sites and add your own map notes.
- The source query was run on 15 September 2026. Wikidata coverage and classifications can change.
- Serial World Heritage properties can have multiple component records. The count is a count of mapped records, not a count of distinct UNESCO inscriptions.
