D-Day landing beaches nominated as candidates for UNESCO - The D-Day landing beaches in Normandy have officially been nominated as candidates for UNESCO World Heritage status. The historic site, spanning approximately 80 kilometres of coastline, is where the D-Day landings took place on June 6th, 1944, marking a turning point in World War II and the liberation of France and Europe. Local residents in Normandy have emphasised the importance of preserving the memory of the sacrifices made during the World War II. If granted, UNESCO status would help ensure the ongoing preservation of the beaches and their historic significance. The nomination will be reviewed in 2026.
