This year, UNESCO added new World Heritage sites in Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine: Alamūt Castle and its related mountain fortifications in Iran, the Mount Amel Castles in Lebanon, and the ancient ruins of Sebastia in Palestine. The sites in Lebanon and Palestine were also placed on UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger, highlighting the urgent need to protect heritage in places affected by conflict and instability.
