Heritage site is a place valued for its cultural, historical, or natural importance. These sites can include buildings, landscapes, or monuments. Many are protected so they can be preserved for the future.

Examples include the Great Wall of China, the pyramids in Egypt, and Machu Picchu in Peru. Some sites are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which means they are recognized internationally. These places are often visited for education and tourism.

Heritage sites are protected by governments and organizations. Rules are often in place to prevent damage and manage visitors.
