TOWER OF HERCULES, CORUNA, GALICIA
As if it wasnt enough for Galicia to have one of
the most extraordinary coastlines in Spain, the
region bagged a fair share of the countrys
fantastic seafood too, selfishly took Santiago deCompostela and to top it all walked off with the
worlds oldest working lighthouse.
EL ESCORIAL, MADRID
is vast World Heritage Site was commissioned by
Philip II of Spain in the mid-16thcentury to atone
for various bits and pieces of bad behavior, think:
sacking churches, loose interpretation of
marriage vows and the purloining of quite a
sizeable amount of New World Gold.
LA LONJA DE LA SEDA, VALENCIA
Is one of the few secular World Heritage Sites in
Spain and the countrys finest example of late
Gothic architecture? With its beautifully
weathered gargoyles, soaring columns, huge
arched windows and almost overwhelming use of
marble, La Lonja is a stunning testimony to the
power and influence of 15thcentury Valencia.
ALHAMBRA, GRANADA
is certainly one of the loveliest in the world. The
Alhambra was originally built as a fortress in the
9thcentury, added to by centuries of rulers and
invaders and even the Duke of Wellington (forest
of elm), allowed to fall into disrepair and finally
restored with a few glitches along the way to
become Europes finest example of Islamic,Christian and secular architecture.
SIEGA VERDE, SALAMANCA Siega Verde in
Spains Salamanca Region on the border of Portugal
was designated a World Heritage Site in 2010.
Officially Siega Verde is an extension of Portugals
incredible Ca ValleyArchaeological Park.
Arles Roman and Romanesque Monuments
(1981)
Arles is one of the most delightful cities in the
south of France. Located on the east bank of the
Rhne river, its known mainly for its superbamphitheater, Les Arnes, the largest Roman
building in Gaul.
Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Abbey of Saint-
Rmi and the Tau Palace (1991)
Reims, the capital of Champagne and located
just north East of Paris has a fabulous cathedral
among its many attractions. As UNESCO statesThe outstanding handling of new architectural
techniques in the 13th century, and the
harmonious marriage of sculptural decoration
with architecture, has made Notre-Dame in
Reims one of the masterpieces of Gothic art.
Chartres Cathedral (1979)
Chartres is one of the great Gothic cathedrals of
Europe. It stands up above the flat countryside,an enduring landmark in medieval and religious
history. It was begun in 1154, caught fire in 1194
then was reconstructed over a very short 26-year
period. So it is a remarkably cohesive example of
French Gothic architecture.
The Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay (1981)
The great Abbey of Fontenay, founded by
Bernard of Clairvaux in 1119, stands deep in thecountryside of Burgundy. Like all such great
foundations, it suffered over the centuries. Buttoday what is left is a remarkable collection ofbuildings, giving you a very real idea of what
monastic life was like in the Middle Ages.
