Türkiye ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 14 February 1983. Its inscribed sites are overwhelmingly cultural, with a smaller group designated as mixed heritage.
Recurring themes include ancient and medieval archaeological sites (like Göbekli Tepe, Troy, Ani), Ottoman‑period urban and religious architecture (e.g., Bursa, Safranbolu, Divriği), rock‑cut and caravan trade landscapes (Cappadocia, Diyarbakır), along with geological wonders adjacent to cultural ruins as seen in Hierapolis–Pamukkale
