The rock-cut ensemble of the sanctuary is included as one of the key elements of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for Hattusa.  The UNESCO inscription notes the importance of the sanctuary: "The famous rock sanctuary of Yazılıkaya, which is an open-air temple with two natural chambers cut into the bedrock, lies 2 km northeast of the capital, on a slope of a mountain barrier."
