FAQ About The Role of Architectural Heritage in Cultural Preservation
What is UNESCO's role in architectural heritage preservation?
UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) plays a pivotal role in heritage preservation through its World Heritage program.

UNESCO provides guidance, technical assistance, and funding to preserve these sites and supports global awareness and cooperation in cultural preservation efforts.
