Features: From 129 countries and regions around the world, 754 World Heritage sites, we have selected the essence of the essence and compiled it into this book. Each site is a masterpiece of human genius and a marvel of nature's creation! How do great cities become great? What kind of city is worth being listed as a World Heritage site? This book takes you to some of the most famous historical cities in the world, the grandeur of Rome, the splendor of Prague; the elegance of Kyoto, the city of Florence where geniuses abound. Cities with different personalities and varied appearances share one common mark: immortality. Palaces, mansions, churches, temples, sculptures, and famous paintings are everywhere, each a testament to humanity's greatest creations and the deepest accumulation of history and culture. Even more enchanting are the time-honored traditions passed down through the ages: Venice's Masked Carnival, Kyoto's magnificent festivals, and the legendary masters who shaped the soul of the city: Michelangelo of Florence, Goya of Toledo, and the Baron Haussmann of Paris. It is because of these great cities that they are great, and it is because of them that they endure for millennia!
