Victoria Falls IS in Zambia and Zimbabwe... — 1 year ago

or rather, between the two. The town of Victoria Falls is on the Zim side of the river, Livinstone is on the Zam side.

Victoria Falls is listed as being in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Also, why is there so much from Spain on this list?

Ischigualasto & Talampaya Natural Parks — 1 year ago

I’m trying to clean up Argentina at 43 Places, sorting places into their respective provinces. Unfortunately, these 2 parks are in separate provinces, and before I rename it and create a separate entity I thought I’d consult with you guys first since it’s part of this master list. Any chance you can break up the two parks into separate entries so that they can be classified on their respective province?

Thanks in advance.

About Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris... — 1 year ago

It’s not a Unesco WHS! Notre-Dame Cathedral of REIMS is!
(I know, it’s confusing…) ;)

Contents, New Sites, Irregularities and Complaints — 2 years ago

The list includes the current 848 (2007)cultural and natural sites (“properties”) which are considered as special and irreplaceable heritage assets to mankind. They include 644 cultural, 162 natural and 24 mixed properties in 138 countries. Some sites are listed twice of more if they straddle borders making a total of 857 entries here.

Some UNESCO sites are repeated when shared between nations, so the 830 officially recognised properties make up 857 different places here. Example, the “Geodetic Arc” runs from the Black Sea to the Arctic so is thus listed here 10 times under the various countries! Some National Parks are shared across international borders, a lot of sites across state/provincial borders!

See also “Comments” here for new entries awarded by UNESCO occasionaly and some irregularities. For inaccuracies please post here under comments rather than opening a new thread.

added a bunch of photos — 2 years ago

Having some procrastination time at work helped in that I added some photos from the UNESCO website to the list. Not fun, but mindless and numbing – which was exactly what I wanted… Great start to the list thus far!!!

Want to help too? — 2 years ago

New: we are looking for a programmer that can help us change the colour of text (eg. red or pink or even just bold). This is necessary for the clickable index where we have three entries for Korea, the Vatican is hidden under “Holy Sea” and also for the Congo countries problem! [RR 2007-09-22]

This list is never complete, anyone can help by making this list better, correct and add (more & better) pictures and the coordinates for mapping and satellite images, a fantastic feature at 43places.com!

Sadly by making improvements (specially renaming) sometimes user marks are lost. Users please check and update your “been there” or “want to go there” settings occasionaly for modified entries.

We have tried to keep most names simple. A simple city name in the list usually means the “old city”, “city center” or even specifically monuments and structures or parts of a city as determined by UNESCO. eg Istanbul.
