Spain accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 4 May 1982. Its inscribed sites are overwhelmingly cultural, with a smaller number recognized for natural or mixed heritage.
Common themes among Spain’s nominations include ancient and medieval urban centers (e.g., Córdoba, Toledo, Salamanca), religious and military architecture (such as cathedrals, monasteries, fortresses), pre‑historic cave art and megalithic sites (Altamira, Antequera Dolmens), Islamic and Renaissance civil monuments (Alhambra, El Escorial, Gaudí works), along with dynamic natural landscapes like Doñana and Teide National Park
