A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a designation upon a site, area, or structure of exceptional importance under the World Heritage Convention. Nominated by national governments and approved by the World Heritage Committee, these sites must meet the criteria to be inscribed on the prestigious list, overseen by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Mexico's commitment to preserving its cultural and natural treasures is evident in its impressive tally of 35 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Among these, 28 are classified as Cultural sites, showcasing the nation's historical landmarks, architectural marvels, and ancient civilizations.

The Cultural category includes a diverse range of sites, from pre-Hispanic cities and archaeological zones to colonial towns and historic centers. Each site offers a glimpse into Mexico's heritage.

Among Mexico's Cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites are iconic landmarks such as the Historic Center of Mexico City and Xochimilco, an urban landscape that blends colonial-era architecture with indigenous traditions. 

Similarly, the Archaeological Zone of Paquimé, Casas Grandes, provides insights into the sophisticated culture of the ancient Pueblo people, while the Central University City Campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) showcases modernist architecture.
