World Heritage Sites

5 Conversations


...as defined by UNESCO


I started a conversation about a series of entries about the world heritage sites, over at Challenge h2g2 but in order to avoid trampling each other in the quest for writing these entries, I thought I'd try to get an overview.


If you hover with your mouse over the 'Site' number you'll see a short description of the site.


Would you like to help, either writing entries or finding edited entries? If so, start a new conversation on this page!


My thoughts on writing entries about the world heritage sites:


  • Write about a site that you have visited (always nice if you can add a personal touch) or that you are interested in

  • Since some countries have a lot of sites, these might best be covered in one entry, listing all the sites in that country together with a short description of each site
