If you think about World Heritage Sites,you probably think of places associated with
ancient art and culture,historical buildings and monuments.And of course,many of these are
on the World Heritage List.But the World Heritage List contains a lot of sites that are not so
obvious.Some of them are well known.Let's get to know a few of them.
Robben Island in South Africa
This island was used through the centuries as a prison,a hospital and a military base.
But it's probably most famous as a maximum-security prison for political prisoners in the
twentieth century.Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents.The WHL says it
represents the triumph(胜利)of democracy and freedom over oppression(压迫)and racism.
Borders of France and Spain
This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting
geological formations.But it is also an area of small farms.People there still use a type of
agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost
completely disappeared in modern times.
The city of Brasilia,Brazil
Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956.The WHL calls it a
landmark in the history of town planning.The different areas of the city and the buildings
themselves were all designed at the same time so that they would harmonise with each other.
Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect.
Simien National Park,Ethiopia
Simien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978.It is one of the
highest mountain areas in Africa,and the WHL calls it one of the most spectacular
landscapes in the world.It is also important for its wildlife.It is home to some rare animals,
whose population is getting smaller and smaller.That's why the site is now on the List of
World Heritage in Danger.
