The University of Coimbra (UC; Portuguese: Universidade de Coimbra) is a Portuguese public university in Coimbra, Portugal. First established in Lisbon in 1290, it went through a number of relocations until moving permanently to Coimbra in 1537. The university is among the oldest universities in continuous operation in the world, the oldest in Portugal, and played a influential role in the development of higher education in the Portuguese-speaking world. In 2013, UNESCO declared the university a World Heritage Site, noting its architecture, unique culture and traditions, and historical role.
Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located in the northwest of the country.
The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is egg-shaped and about 430 hectares in size.
The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares, including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (meaning "Brugge aan Zee" or "Bruges on Sea").
The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of which around 20,000 live in the historic centre.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North".
Goslar/Harz GER
The Imperial Palace of Goslar (German: Kaiserpfalz Goslar) is a historical building complex at the foot of the Rammelsberg hill in the south of the town of Goslar north of the Harz mountains, central Germany. It covers an area of about 340 by 180 metres. The palace grounds originally included the Kaiserhaus, the old collegiate church of St. Simon and St. Jude, the palace chapel of St. Ulrich and the Church of Our Lady (Liebfrauenkirche). The Kaiserhaus, which has been extensively restored in the late 19th century, was a favourite imperial residence, especially for the Salian emperors. As early as the 11th century, the buildings of the imperial palace had already so impressed the chronicler Lambert of Hersfeld that he described it as the "most famous residence in the empire". Since 1992, the palace site, together with the Goslar's Old Town and the Rammelsberg has been a UNESCO world heritage site.

"The Speicherstadt (lit. city of warehouses, meaning warehouse district) in Hamburg, Germany is the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations, oak logs, in this particular case. It is located in the port of Hamburg—within the HafenCity quarter—and was built from 1883 to 1927. It was awarded the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site on 5 July 2015." (from Wikipedia)
Description in English and Dutch
Mr. Monster was taking a leisurely stroll along the canal in Kinderdijk, admiring the magnificent reflections of the clouds in the water. As he stopped to take in the breathtaking view, he began to dream away to the past and found himself learning about the incredible history of water management and windmills in the Unesco area. He was transported back to a time of innovation and discovery, when Dutch engineers perfected the art of controlling the water and safeguarding their land from the ever-present threat of flooding. He saw the development of the windmills from their early days to the 19th century, when they were used to pump water to and from the canals. As he continued to take in the scenery, Mr. Monster knew that he had been granted a unique opportunity to learn about the history of the area and all that it entailed.
Nederlands
Toen Marco een aantal jaren geleden tijdens zijn wandeling in Kinderdijk stopte om een aantal foto's te maken van het prachtige landschap, werd hij betoverd door de schoonheid van de weerspiegeling van de wolken op het water. Starend naar de wolken droomde hij weg naar het verleden en begon daar te leren over de geschiedenis van waterbeheer en molens in het Unesco-gebied. Hij werd meegenomen naar een tijd van innovatie en ontdekking, toen Nederlandse ingenieurs de kunst van waterbeheersing perfectioneerden en het land beschermden tegen de voortdurende dreiging van overstromingen. Hij zag de ontwikkeling van de molens vanaf hun vroege dagen tot de 19e eeuw, toen ze werden gebruikt om water naar en van de kanalen te pompen. Marco wist dat hij een unieke kans had gekregen om de geschiedenis van het gebied te leren kennen en alles wat daarbij kwam kijken.

Meteora (Greece) het andere Griekenland, een plek tussen Hemel en aarde en een indrukwekkende plek
Meteora (Grieks: Μετέωρα) zijn de op hoge rotspilaren gebouwde kloosters. Door eeuwenlange wind- en watererosie (ooit was de Thessalische vlakte een binnenzee) hebben de rotsformaties hun specifieke en moeilijk bedwingbare uiterlijk gekregen.

Bahla Fort (Qal'at Bahla) is one of four historic fortresses situated at the foot of the Djebel Akhdar highlands in Oman. It was built in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the oasis of Bahla was prosperous under the control of the Banu Nabhan tribe. The fort's ruined adobe walls and towers rise some 165 feet above its sandstone foundations. Nearby to the southwest is the Friday Mosque with a 14th-century sculpted mihrab. The fort was not restored or conserved before 1987, and had fallen into a parlous state, with parts of the walls collapsing each year in the rainy season. The fort became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It was included in the List of World Heritage in Danger from 1988. Restoration works began in the 1990s, and nearly $9m were spent by the Omani government from 1993 to 1999. It remained covered with scaffolding and closed to tourists for many years. It was removed from the list of endangered sites in 2004.

I composed these two photographs of frescoes created by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696–1770) during a recent visit to the Residenz Palace, in Wurzburg, Germany.
Tiepolo was the supreme master of 18th-century Venetian ceiling frescoes. He successfully dissolved architectural boundaries, extending rooms into open, sunlit skies populated by mythological and allegorical figures.
In the Würzburg Residenz Palace, Tiepolo’s masterpiece spans the vault of the grand staircase, featuring the massive Apollo and the Four Continents. It is one of the largest ceiling frescoes in the world, intended to celebrate the Wurzburg Court as being at the center of the cosmos.

ENG: The Bode Museum, opened in 1904 as the Kaiser Friedrich Museum, is part of the Museum Island ensemble in Berlin and thus a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It houses the Sculpture Collection, the Museum of Byzantine Art and the Numismatic Collection. It was reopened on 17 October 2006 after almost six years of renovation and opened to the public on 19 October of the same year.
The Bode-Museum became doubtfully well-known during the night of 27 March 2017, when a "Big Maple Leaf Gold Coin" weighing around 100 kg was stolen from the exhibition. This loan from a private owner had a face value of around 1.0 million Canadian dollars, the material value at the time of the crime was around 3.8 million euros. The gold coin and the perpetrators have since disappeared and the coin was most likely melted down.
GER: Das Bode-Museum, 1904 als Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum eröffnet, gehört zum Ensemble der Museumsinsel in Berlin und damit zum Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO. Es beherbergt die Skulpturensammlung und das Museum für Byzantinische Kunst sowie das Münzkabinett. Am 17. Oktober 2006 wurde es nach knapp sechsjähriger Renovierung wiedereröffnet und am 19. Oktober desselben Jahres der Öffentlichkeit übergeben.
Zu zweifelhafter Bekanntheit kam das Bode-Museum in der Nacht auf den 27. März 2017, da wurde eine rund 100 kg schwere „Big-Maple-Leaf-Goldmünze“ aus der Ausstellung gestohlen. Diese Leihgabe eines privaten Eigentümers hatte einen Nennwert von rund 1,0 Million kanadische Dollar, der Materialwert zum Tatzeitpunkt rund 3,8 Millionen Euro. Die Goldmünze sowie die Täter sind seitdem verschwunden und die Münze wurde aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach eingeschmolzen.

The Longmen Grottoes (aka Longmen Caves) is a UNESCO–listed world heritage site which has thousands of statues of Buddha carved in caves excavated from its surrounding cliffs. Unfortunately, the site was subjected to significant vandalism and senseless destruction at several points in its history. Major artifacts were removed by Western collectors and souvenir hunters during the early 20th century and by the Japanese during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The heads of many statues were also destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
The Chinese government has since recognized the cultural and tourist importance of the Longmen Grottoes and has been active engaged in the preservation and restoration of the site. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longmen_Grottoes
