This year’s additions include the authentic “Disney Castle” in Bavaria, the Minoan palaces of Crete, a “diamond mountain” in North Korea, a submerged “pirate city” in Jamaica and the fields of the death of the Khmer Reds.
The six extremely important archaeological sites of Crete, the Minoan palace centers in Knossos, Phaistos, Malia, Zakros, Zomomos and Kydonia – are now described as world heritage monuments.
Now, the UNESCO list includes 1,248 locations in 170 countries.
