Mons and its region have no less than 7 heritages listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list! From the 6,000-year-old Neolithic flint mines of Spiennes to the Universal Bibliographic Index, veritable ‘Google of paper’, all of them, very different in form, time and expression, represent an exceptional value for the common heritage of mankind. This universal value, combined with certain criteria, defines their eligibility for inscription on this list. In 2024, there are 1,199 listed sites worldwide, divided into tangible and intangible cultural, natural and mixed heritage.
