Israel
Israel accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 6 October 1999. Its current UNESCO inscriptions are exclusively cultural. Common themes among its nominations include ancient biblical and Roman-era archaeological sites, Crusader fortresses and medieval coastal cities, early modern “White City” Bauhaus architecture, and prehistoric human-evolution caves. These designations underscore Israel’s layered history—from biblical antiquity to 20th-century urban design and pivotal prehistoric landscapes.
