The Landing Beaches of Normandy have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage.

The five beaches of the Normandy Landings – Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword – have been inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage, alongside other emblematic sites such as Pointe du Hoc, the artificial Mulberry harbor in Arromanches, and the German battery at Longues-sur-Mer, according to recent announcements from the United Nations body.

UNESCO has recognized that these places have an "exceptional universal value," being closely linked to the Allied landings of June 6, 1944, a decisive moment for the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation.

The inscription obliges French authorities to protect and preserve the sites, which represent both a symbol of human sacrifice during World War II and a place of memory and the promotion of peace.
