List of World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic 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. All of these sites are of the cultural type and none of them is shared with other countries.[3]
