<P> The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972 . The first sites on the territory of the present Czech Republic were inscribed at the 16th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in Santa Fe, United States in 1992 . At that session, three sites were added: "Historic Centre of Prague", "Historic Centre of Český Krumlov" and "Historic Centre of Telč" for the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic . </P> <P> With the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on January 1, 1993, the country was split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia . Either party sought to honour treaty obligations signed by Czechoslovakia including the World Heritage convention . The Czech Republic officially succeeded the convention on March 26, 1993 (five days before Slovakia), inheriting these three sites . More sites were added in the years 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003 . As of July 2014, the Czech Republic has 12 total sites inscribed on the list .
