The 44th session of the World Heritage Committee ends today July 31st, and between 2020 and 2021, a total of 33 new properties have been added to the list.
As shown in our chart, Europe is still by far the region with the most UNESCO heritage sites by being home to 503 of either cultural, natural or mixed importance.
After the annual announcement of new sites by the UNESCO board, Italy now boasts 58 world heritage locations.
With this, Italy pulls ahead of China. Formerly head-to-head at 55 properties each, China could only add one site - the Song-Yuan era Emporium of the World in Quanzhou - leading to a total of 56 properties for the country.
