List of World Heritage Sites in Haiti
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972.[1] Haiti accepted the convention on January 18, 1980, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list. As of 2023, Haiti has only one World Heritage Site, National History Park – Citadel, Sans Souci, Ramiers, which was inscribed in 1982. [2]
