Below are some of the best UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Presently, there are over 1000 sites listed, but we have picked out the best of best.
Great Barrier of Reef, Australia
The Great Barrier Reef has become one of the most popular
tourist destinations in the world due to its
natural beauty.
One
of Australia's greatest gifts of nature, the Great Barrier
Reef boasts
the breath taking beauty of the world's largest coral reefs. Coral reefs contain abundant marine life and consist of more than 3000 individual reef
systems and coral reefs, as well as literally hundreds of
image-like tropical islands with
the world's
most beautiful sun-soaked
golden beaches.
Petra, Jordan
Petra
is half-built and half-carved out of the rock, surrounded
by mountains with passages and canyons. During the
Nabataean, Roman, and Byzantine periods, ingenious water management systems allowed for extensive settlement in a largely arid area. It is one
of the largest and
richest archaeological sites in the world, set in a landscape of dominant red sandstone.
Located
between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, it has been inhabited since
prehistoric times. The rock-cut capital of the Nabataeans became an important caravan
hub for Arabic incense, Chinese silk and Indian spices during the
Hellenistic
and Roman eras. It was Arab, Egyptian and Syrian-
Phoenician.
Old Havana, Cuba
Havana
was founded by the Spanish in 1519. By the 17th century, it had become one
of the main shipbuilding centers in the Caribbean. Although today it is a huge metropolis with 2 million
inhabitants, its old town
retains an interesting combination
of Baroque and Neoclassical
monuments, as well as a group of private houses
with arcades, balconies, wrought iron doors and internal
courtyards.
Great Wall of China, China
Since the 3rd century
BC Until the seventeenth century AD, the Great Wall, as a great
military defense project of the Chinese empire was continuously built on
the northern border, with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers.
The
Great Wall begins at Shanhaiguan, Hebei in the east and Jiayuguan, Gansu in the west.
Its main body is made up of the city
wall, the hippodrome,
the
watchtower and the sheds
on the city wall,
and includes the city wall and the passage along the city wall.
Historic Centre of the City of Salzburg, Austria
From Prussia to Italy, Salzburg is a prominent example of a church city-state unique to the Holy Roman
Empire. Most disappeared as political and administrative units in the early
19th century and adopted alternative development trajectories. No other example of such a political institution has survived as completely as Salzburg, preserving its urban structure and individual
buildings to such a remarkable degree.
