Mountain-top Hotel and Televi… (On tentative list)
Mountain-top Hotel and Television Transmitter Ješt

Kladruby nad Labem (Inscribed)
Kladruby nad Labem
Horse breeding on the World Heritage List? I am not into horses and equestrian sports, and when I see the Fiakers at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, I doubt that …

Cordouan Lighthouse (Inscribed)
Cordouan Lighthouse
I visited the Phare de Cordouan in July 2021, just one day before the site was inscribed on the World Heritage List. The ICOMOS evaluation was clearly positive, so I …

Plečnik's Ljubljana (Inscribed)
Plečnik's Ljubljana
When the Advisory Body Evaluations (ABE) of the 2020/2021 nominations were published a few weeks prior to the WHC meeting, I was surprised to see that Ljubljana received a clear …

Pirin National Park (Inscribed)
Pirin National Park
“Bulgaria? Why do you go to Bulgaria to hike in a region that looks exactly like the Alps here in Austria?” This was the question my Austrian friends asked me …

Alcala de Henares (Inscribed)
Alcala de Henares
The Old University and Miguel de Cervantes are the keywords that characterize this World Heritage site. Too little to make Alcalá de Henares an overwhelming site, but enough for a …

Cuenca (Inscribed)
Cuenca
Old towns often perch on hills. But Cuenca has taken it to the extreme. Cuenca was built on a narrow rocky plateau between two ravines, one of them with vertically …

Aranjuez (Inscribed)
Aranjuez
'Die schönen Tage in Aranjuez sind nun zu Ende.' The drama Don Carlos by Friedrich Schiller starts with these words. I am not sure whether Schiller is historically …

Toledo (Inscribed)
Toledo
Toledo was the World Heritage site I was most looking forward to before I left for my trip through central Spain in May 2019. And I was not disappointed. Toledo …

Santa Maria de Guadalupe (Inscribed)
Santa Maria de Guadalupe
Given the rather remote location of Guadalupe, one might expect that only a few people visit the monastery. But quite the contrary, it is extremely popular. The monastery is associated …

Salamanca (Inscribed)
Salamanca
Salamanca is certainly the most elegant and glamorous of all the historic city centres on the Spanish World Heritage List. This is mainly due to its harmonious townscape. Almost all …

Avila (Inscribed)
Avila
One advantage of the over-representation of some categories on the World Heritage list is that comparisons can be drawn between the sites. From this point of view, it was instructive …

Segovia (Inscribed)
Segovia
Once you have completed the loop of World Heritage cities around Madrid, the question arises which of these sites was the most impressive. My answer is Toledo and Segovia. Admittedly, …

The Marble Basin of Carrara (On tentative list)
The Marble Basin of Carrara
Where does all the snow on the mountains come from? You might think so when driving along the Autostrada A12 between Pisa and La Spezia in summer and looking up …

El Escurial (Inscribed)
El Escurial
The literal translation of El Escorial is "the slag heap". But this is actually the name of the neighbouring village and also a pretty good description of the barren landscape …

Prehistoric Pile Dwellings (Inscribed)
Prehistoric Pile Dwellings
My first visit to these prehistoric pile dwellings was Fiave and Molina di Ledro/Italy in 2011 (see my review below). And to say it right away, these are the best …

Bulwarked Fortresses of the R… (Nominated)
Bulwarked Fortresses of the Raia
This Tentative WHS includes three fortified towns on the Spanish-Portuguese border proposed as an extension of the already inscribed Garrison Border Town of Elvas. Of these, I visited Almeida and …

Elvas (Inscribed)
Elvas
‘♥ elvas’ is written in large letters at the Praça da República, the central square of Elvas. And that could also be the summary of my review. This …

Álvaro Siza’s Architecture (Nominated)
Álvaro Siza’s Architecture
Although I have a fondness for modern architecture, I was not very familiar with Álvaro Siza's work when it was included in Portugal's revised T-list in 2017. His style is …

Aguas Livres Aqueduct (On tentative list)
Aguas Livres Aqueduct
Aqueduto das Águas Livres - Aquaduct of Free Waters – what a great name for a city's water supply. However, its construction in the 18th century was financed by additional …
