World heritage sites are considered one of the most important areas in our globe. UNESCO is the organization that recognizes these areas. They distinguish the importance of these areas by categorizing them based on their impacts. Cultural, scientific and historical significances are just a few of these impacts. Some of the most famous examples of these areas include the Taj Mahal, Venice, and Machu Picchu. As you can tell these sites can be either man-made or naturally formed. Even though it seems like there are very well known, there are some aspects of them that you may have not heard before.
