📦 About the 2002 World Heritage Set

• The 2002 UNESCO World Heritage set from Vienna was issued to highlight World Heritage sites, continuing a series begun in the late 1990s (with previous issues such as 1998 – Schönbrunn Palace and others).
• It likely includes multiple denominations/stamps each featuring a specific World Heritage site — typical of this series where each design depicts an iconic cultural or natural landmark on the UNESCO list.

📌 Examples of Sites Typically Featured (in this general series across years):
While specific catalog images or a detailed list for the 2002 Vienna set aren’t widely published online, similar UNPA World Heritage issues from around that time portray sites like those in Italy’s heritage list (e.g., monuments, archaeological sites). These often match stamps with Michel catalogue numbers in the 351–356 range for the 2002 World Heritage-Italy issues.
