World Heritage Sites in North Macedonia

A UNESCO World Heritage site , which is a mixed cultural and natural heritage site, is part of the world heritage in North Macedonia (as of 2018) . The World Heritage Sites were added to the World Heritage List in 1979 when North Macedonia was still one of the six republics of Yugoslavia as the Socialist Republic of Macedonia . After gaining independence in 1991, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia acceded to the World Heritage Convention in 1997. Since then, no further World Heritage Sites have been added to the World Heritage List.
