List of World Heritage Sites by religion

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an unofficial list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites around the world by the religion they are associated with.[1] While some sites have had their religious affiliation changed at various points throughout history, this list categorizes sites by their most recent affiliation. Also, not all of the following sites are functioning as places of worship. UNESCO does not endorse classification by religion, which would be inconsistent with the universal value of these sites as "world heritage".
