There are four World Heritage Sites in Montenegro and a further six on the tentative list (the official list of sites that may be considered for future submission). 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. Montenegro acceded to the convention on 3 June 2006, although two sites on the list were added when Montenegro was still a part of Yugoslavia. The Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor (pictured) was listed in 1979, and Durmitor National Park was listed in 1980 and extended in 2005. Two sites are shared with other countries: Stećci Medieval Tombstone Graveyards (listed in 2016) and Venetian Works of Defence between the 16th and 17th centuries (listed in 2017). (Full list...)
