More about the UNESCO World Heritage Site
The historical center of Prague is the most important urban conservation area in our country and important in the context of Europe. A unique urban development, covering an area of 866 hectares, was listed in the UNESCO List of Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1992, and in 2010 it was also assigned to the Pruhonice Park. The overall range is evident from the enclosed map.
UNESCO is an English abbreviation for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which means the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. UNESCO advocates the view that it is necessary to protect not only the material creations of the past, but also the unique phenomena created by nature. In 1972, under the patronage of UNESCO, the Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was concluded. The designation of the monument or the UNESCO nature reserve is a proof that means something unique and unique, something that is a world heritage and what is to be preserved for generations to come. The Czech Republic has ratified the International Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1991 and since then, 12 monuments on our territory and 6 nature reserves have been entered on the UNESCO List. Since 2001, 5 manifestations of intangible cultural heritage have been marked with the title "masterpiece" (for example, The Riding of Kings in Slovácko and Haná). When we realize that there are 740 cultural and natural monuments on the World Heritage List, the Czech Republic is one of the world's greatest cultural powers.
