I'm a brazilian architect, my interest in UNESCO WHS started when I studied abroad in Guimarães, Portugal, a city that has its historic centre inscribed on the list. It was in 2012 and since then I use the UNESCO list as a help guide for my trips. As an architect, it also helps me to better understand the conservation of the cultural heritage in the world: I love reading ICOMOS evaluations!  

My most impressive site: Historic Centre of Prague

My proposal for a new site: Terreiro Casa Branca - Ilê Axé Iyá Nassô Oká, Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave, Catimbau National Park
