Republic of Korea

2.86
South Korea (Republic of Korea) accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 14 September 1988, and its World Heritage inscriptions are overwhelmingly cultural, with a select representation of natural sites. Common themes in its cultural nominations include Buddhist temples and monastic complexes, Confucian ritual sites, royal tombs, and fortified palaces and villages from the Joseon dynasty (e.g., palace architecture, clan villages, and fortress construction). Natural sites emphasize distinctive geological landscapes such as volcanic islands and tidal flats.
