Djémila , Algeriasign A UNESCO World Heritage Site UNESCO ). 
There are several related UNESCO programmes:
There are also conservation programmes run by other organizations, such as the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as Waterfowl Habitat . The nearest site from the headquarter of UNESCO is Eiffel Tower  because the headquarter of is in Paris, walking for 22 minutes.   
The programme aims to catalogue and preserve sites of outstanding importance, either cultural or natural, to the common heritage of humankind. While the World Heritage Committee maintains a list of World Heritage Sites, they make no independent review; in practice, they are listed by each national government. After the 2025 session of the World Heritage Committee, there is a total of 1,248 sites, many of which are made up of several individual components. With around 400 sites on the second smallest continent, Europe  has by far the highest density of world heritage sites. Only a little over 200 sites are in the Americas and Oceania combined.
Sites such as Hatra  in Iraq and Palmyra  in Syria remain listed as UNESCO World Heritage (and as World Heritage in Danger) in 2017, even though warring belligerents  have largely obliterated anything of historic value. Conversely, Taiwan  is denied UN recognition on entirely political grounds and has no UNESCO world heritage listings, despite the existence of eleven sites which would otherwise be suitable candidates.
    
 Mere continued existence of a UNESCO listing should not be taken as evidence the underlying site (or its landmark heritage) still exists. UNESCO's World Heritage Committee updates a list of endangered sites annually (see List of World Heritage in Danger  on Wikipedia) as a political tool to pressure individual countries to take specific conservation measures or to refrain from certain actions that are seen as endangering the world heritage site. 
In some cases, a UNESCO listing has irrevocably harmed a site. The term UNESCO-cide , coined by Italian writer Marco d'Eramo, describes a pattern where listing a tiny fishing village or historic community to protect the buildings from developers creates an unsustainable influx of travellers. As gentrification and hyper-commercialisation price the original people and their subsistence fishery out of the community, existing structures are repurposed as travel lodging or tacky souvenir shops. UNESCO pays lip service to sustainable travel , but tends to underestimate its own impact on tiny, vulnerable communities. Conversely, some listings of UNESCO sites as "in danger" are arguably political responses to actions or non-actions of local authorities which are hardly capable of destroying or seriously endangering the site. The United States and Israel left UNESCO in protest after their recognition of Palestine, and are thus not eligible to propose new sites for the list; however, the United States rejoined in 2023. But it may be misleading that the UNESCO cannot handle how the local government uses them. 
Generally, if you consider to visit historical and cultural sites, this list can be helpful.
