List of World Heritage Sites in Comoros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972.[1] Comoros accepted the convention, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list. As 2024 Comoros has no World Heritage Sites, although there are four proposed sites in the Tentative List.[2]
