Iran ranks fourth worldwide for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage registrations
With 27 UNESCO-listed traditions, rituals and artistic practices, Iran strengthens its position among the world’s leading guardians of living cultural heritage
Iran has secured fourth place globally for the number of elements inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, as a TV BRICS partner
According to the latest UNESCO data, Iran has 27 registered elements, placing it behind China (45).
Unlike monuments or archaeological sites, intangible cultural heritage encompasses living traditions that are passed down through generations. These include performing arts, rituals, festive events, craftsmanship, oral traditions, traditional knowledge and social practices that preserve cultural identity and strengthen community ties.
Iran’s UNESCO-recognised heritage reflects the country’s rich civilisational legacy and ethnic diversity. Among its most prominent registered elements are Turkmen embroidery, the art of illumination (Tazhib), Persian miniature painting, the traditional equestrian sport of Chogan, the Mashhad-e Ardahal carpet-washing ceremony, Naqqali (traditional epic storytelling), the knowledge of building and sailing traditional Lenj boats, and the Radif of Iranian classical music.
According to theted to support cultural preservation, promote greater global awareness of Iran’s historical heritage, encourage cultural tourism and strengthen efforts to pass traditional knowledge and artistic skills on to future generations
Cultural experts also note that Iran’s extensive regional diversity offers significant potential for additional UNESCO nominations in the coming years, which could further strengthen the country’s standing in the global cultural heritage landscape.

“We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. […] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers”
