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.[1] Somalia accepted the convention in 2020, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list. In 2024, Somalia proposed its first two World Heritage Sites.[2]
