Cambodia accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 28 November 1991 and its inscriptions exclusively comprise cultural sites. Its notable listings include iconic Khmer-era archaeological complexes—such as Angkor, Preah Vihear, Sambor Prei Kuk, and Ko Ker—reflecting themes of ancient statecraft, religious architecture, and landscape organization. These sites highlight the architectural grandeur of the Khmer Empire, Buddhist and Hindu worship practices, and the evolution of temple-city planning.
