UNESCO criteria refer to the ten selection criteria used to evaluate sites for inclusion on the World Heritage List. These criteria assess the cultural, historical, scientific, or other forms of significance of a site, such as its representation of human creativity, its influence on architecture, or its outstanding natural beauty. To be considered for World Heritage status, a site must meet at least one of these criteria. The criteria help ensure that only the most exceptional sites are recognized for their universal value to humanity.
Avignon was classified as a World Heritage Site by Unesco on the basis of three out of Unesco's ten criteria.
