Cyprus ratified the World Heritage Convention on 14 August, 1975. As of August 2010, it has three World Heritage Sites, all in the cultural category. Cyprus also has another 12 sites on the World Heritage Tentative List. Cyprus has served on the World Heritage Committee twice, in 1980-1987 and 1991-1997.

On the other side of the border, there are presently no World Heritage Sites in Northern Cyprus. Nevertheless there are a good number of historic sites, among them the magnificent St Hilarion Castle and Kyrenia Castle.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
