2025 - Unesco "Shuri Castle" - 10€ France Proof

Since 1945, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) has classified sites as “World Heritage”.

The aim of this program is to classify, name and conserve so-called cultural or natural properties of importance to the common heritage of humanity.

Located in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, Shuri Castle was built in the late 14th century. The monument was originally a gusuku, a medieval Japanese fortress, but later served as the royal residence of the Ryukyu Kingdom (15th-19th centuries) and then as a governmental and religious center.
