The UNESCO World Heritage places are spots of significance to social or characteristic legacy as portrayed in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, built up in 1972.Portugal embraced the tradition on 30 September 1980, making its chronicled locales qualified for consideration on the rundown.
First places in Portugal were recorded on the rundown at the seventh Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Florence, Italy, in 1983. Four destinations were included: the “Central Zone of the Town of Angra do Heroísmo in the Azores”, the “Monastery of Batalha”, the “Convent of Christ in Tomar”, and the joint record of the “Monastery of Jerónimos and the Tower of Belém in Lisbon”. As of 2013, Portugal has 15 locales recorded on the rundown, 14 of which are social and one is normal, as indicated by the determination criteria. Three places are situated in the Azores and Madeira archipelagos, while one is imparted to Spain. The latest record is the University of Coimbra – Alta and Sofia site in Coimbra, during the 37th Session in Phnom Penh.
