Mali accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on April 5, 1977, and its inscriptions focus exclusively on cultural heritage. The listed sites reflect themes such as ancient urban civilizations, Islamic scholarship, and monumental earthen architecture.
Common subjects include historic cities like Timbuktu and Djenné, traditional construction techniques, and cultural landscapes associated with longstanding spiritual and societal traditions. These designations highlight Mali’s historical role as a center of trans-Saharan trade, religious learning, and architectural innovation in West Africa.
