UNESCO Sites in Moldova

Moldova UNESCO has registered 1 site on the World Heritage list and 2 on the tentative list.

Some places are so interesting that it’s relevant to keep them for future generations. This is why UNESCO has built a list of crucial classified properties in which superb places stand out for their aesthetic, natural, artistic, or cultural significance.

More than a thousand places are registered as Unesco’s World Heritage worldwide. Due to my interest in visiting World Heritage sites, I put together the UNESCO list of Moldova and the corresponding map.

Description

1. The Struve Geodetic Arc is a chain of survey triangulations that extends from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, passing through 10 countries. It was created in the 19th century by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve to measure the shape and size of the earth accurately. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Moldova have protected places for their cultural and natural importance.
