"Santiago de Compostela was the supreme goal for countless thousands of pious pilgrims who converged there from all over Europe throughout the Middle Ages. To reach Spain pilgrims had to pass through France, and the group of important historical monuments included in this inscription marks out the four routes by which they did so."

828 IT - Historic Centre of Urbino (1998)

Brief Description

"The small hill town of Urbino, in the Marche, experienced a great cultural flowering in the 15th century, attracting artists and scholars from all over Italy and beyond, and influencing cultural developments elsewhere in Europe. Owing to its economic and cultural stagnation from the 16th century onwards, it has preserved its Renaissance appearance to a remarkable extent."

乌尔比诺历史中心
"乌尔比诺是一座小山城，位于马奇位，15世纪经历了惊人的文化繁盛期，吸引了整个意大利以及其他地区的艺术家和学者，其文化的发展影响到欧洲的每一角落。16世纪以后，其经济和文化发展进入萧条阶段，文艺复兴时期的原貌正是由此才最大程度地得以保存。"

356 TR - Historic Areas of Istanbul (1985)

Brief Description

"With its strategic location on the Bosphorus peninsula between the Balkans and Anatolia, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, Istanbul has been associated with major political, religious and artistic events for more than 2,000 years. Its masterpieces include the ancient Hippodrome of Constantine, the 6th-century Hagia Sophia and the 16th-century Süleymaniye Mosque, all now under threat from population pressure, industrial pollution and uncontrolled urbanization."

伊斯坦布尔历史区域
"伊斯坦布尔历史区域位于巴尔干与安纳托利亚、黑海与地 中海之间的波斯弗如斯佩宁苏拉。两千多年来，伊斯坦布尔总是与一些重要的政治、宗教和艺术事件联系在一起。它的杰作包括古代君士坦丁堡竞技场、6世纪的哈 吉亚•索菲亚教堂和16世纪的苏莱曼清真寺。这些遗迹现在受到了人口过盛、工业污染以及过度城市化的威胁。"

294 LB - Baalbek (1984)

Brief Description

"This Phoenician city, where a triad of deities was worshipped, was known as Heliopolis during the Hellenistic period. It retained its religious function during Roman times, when the sanctuary of the Heliopolitan Jupiter attracted thousands of pilgrims. Baalbek, with its colossal structures, is one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its apogee."

巴勒贝克

"这座腓尼基人的城市在希腊时期以太阳神而闻名，这里供奉了三座神灵。巴勒贝克保留了罗马时代的宗教性，那时太阳神朱庇特神殿吸引了成千上万的朝圣者。巴勒贝克以其庞大复杂的建筑结构成为罗马帝国建筑的典范。"

825 IT - Archaeological Area and the Patriarchal Basilica of Aquileia (1998)

Brief Description

"Aquileia (in Friuli-Venezia Giulia), one of the largest and wealthiest cities of the Early Roman Empire, was destroyed by Attila in the mid-5th century. Most of it still lies unexcavated beneath the fields, and as such it constitutes the greatest archaeological reserve of its kind. The patriarchal basilica, an outstanding building with an exceptional mosaic pavement, played a key role in the evangelization of a large region of central Europe."

阿奎拉古迹区及长方形主教教堂

"阿奎拉（位于意大利东北部地区弗留利威尼西 亚朱利亚区）是早期罗马帝国最大最富有的城市之一，在5世纪中叶被阿提拉(Attila)匈奴帝国国王毁灭。阿奎拉大部分遗迹仍埋在地下而未被发掘，正由 于此，它才是这一类型中最大的古迹区。这里的长方形主教教堂是用优质的马赛克铺筑的著名建筑，同时它也在中欧大部地区的传教过程中发挥了关键作用。"

832 IT - Villa Romana del Casale (1997)

Brief Description

"Roman exploitation of the countryside is symbolized by the Villa Romana del Casale (in Sicily), the centre of the large estate upon which the rural economy of the Western Empire was based. The villa is one of the most luxurious of its kind. It is especially noteworthy for the richness and quality of the mosaics which decorate almost every room; they are the finest mosaics in situ anywhere in the Roman world."

卡萨尔的罗马别墅
"位于西西里的卡萨尔罗马别墅是罗马大庄园的中心，西罗马帝国农村经济就依赖这些庄园。卡萨尔的罗马别墅是众多同类建筑中最奢华的一个。卡萨尔的镶嵌工艺水平和质量尤其值得关注，几乎装饰了每一个房间的马赛克，时至今日仍然是罗马世界的一朵瑰丽的奇葩。"

831 IT - Archaeological Area of Agrigento (1997)

Brief Description

"Founded as a Greek colony in the 6th century B.C., Agrigento became one of the leading cities in the Mediterranean world. Its supremacy and pride are demonstrated by the remains of the magnificent Doric temples that dominate the ancient town, much of which still lies intact under today's fields and orchards. Selected excavated areas throw light on the later Hellenistic and Roman town and the burial practices of its early Christian inhabitants."

阿克里真托考古区
"自公元前6世纪被作为希腊的殖民地以来，阿克里真托便成 为地中海地区的重要城市之一。阿克里真托的至高地位和无尚荣耀也体现在主宰这个古城的壮丽的陶立克式庙宇中。直到今天，古城的大部分还完好地躺在农田或果 园的地下。对考古区域进行有选择的发掘，有助于了解后来的古希腊和古罗马城市，还有助于了解古基督教居民的殡葬仪式。"

404 GR - Acropolis, Athens (1987)

Brief Description

"The Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of the classical spirit and civilization and form the greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world. In the second half of the fifth century bc, Athens, following the victory against the Persians and the establishment of democracy, took a leading position amongst the other city-states of the ancient world. In the age that followed, as thought and art flourished, an exceptional group of artists put into effect the ambitious plans of Athenian statesman Pericles and, under the inspired guidance of the sculptor Pheidias, transformed the rocky hill into a unique monument of thought and the arts. The most important monuments were built during that time: the Parthenon, built by Ictinus, the Erechtheon, the Propylaea, the monumental entrance to the Acropolis, designed by Mnesicles and the small temple Athena Nike. "

雅典卫城

"雅典卫城包括希腊古典艺术最伟大的四大杰作——帕特侬神庙、通廊、厄瑞克修姆庙和雅典娜胜利神庙，诠释了一千多年来在希腊繁荣、兴盛的文明、神话和宗教，可被视为世界遗产理念的象征。"

Brief Description

"This ancient university town north-west of Madrid was first conquered by the Carthaginians in the 3rd century B.C. It then became a Roman settlement before being ruled by the Moors until the 11th century. The university, one of the oldest in Europe, reached its high point during Salamanca's golden age. The city's historic centre has important Romanesque, Gothic, Moorish, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. The Plaza Mayor, with its galleries and arcades, is particularly impressive."
