John Mitchell Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Betty, there's a list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites here. Those botanical gardens certainly sound interesting. The building looks a bit like a giant glass and steel rolling pin. 🫓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarsMadsen Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Karl Gustav's Wall on the Swedish island Öland which divides the island in two. The southern part of the island is a Unesco World Heritage site. Karl Gustav later became king of Sweden as as Karl X Gustav, but before that he built this wall in 1653 to keep the peasants out of his personal hunting grounds on the southern tip of Öland.

Ed Rooney Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) I had a couple of Liverpool snaps I was going to submit, but my new home town has been removed from the UNESCO list. 😧 But London is still on the list. The Brooklyn Bridge is now being considered by UNESCO as a new site. And for my last, there's Bella Roma and the great Basilica.
