1658 LV - Old town of Kuldīga (2023)

 Old town of Kuldīga

Located in the western part of Latvia, the town of Kuldīga is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional urban settlement, which developed from a small medieval hamlet into an important administrative centre of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia between the 16th and 18th centuries. The town structure of Kuldīga has largely retained the street layout of that period, and includes traditional log architecture as well as foreign-influenced styles that illustrate the rich exchange between local and travelling craftspeople from around the Baltic Sea. The architectural influences and craftsmanship traditions introduced during the period of the Duchy endured well into the 19th century.

库尔迪加老城

库尔迪加（Kuldīga）位于拉脱维亚西部，是一个保存极完好的传统城镇典范。在16-18世纪，它从一个中世纪小村庄发展成为库尔兰和瑟米加利亚公国的重要行政中心。库尔迪加的城市结构在很大程度上保留了当时的街道布局，房屋既有传统的原木建筑，又有受外来影响的其他风格，反映了波罗的海沿岸本地工匠与行走工匠之间的丰富交流。公国时期传入的建筑影响和工艺传统一直延续至19世纪。

1187 BY/EE/FI/LT/LV/MD/NO/RU/UA - Struve Geodetic Arc (2005)

Brief Description

"The Struve Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, through 10 countries and over 2,820 km. These are points of a survey, carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, which represented the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian. This helped to establish the exact size and shape of the planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping. It is an extraordinary example of scientific collaboration among scientists from different countries, and of collaboration between monarchs for a scientific cause. The original arc consisted of 258 main triangles with 265 main station points. The listed site includes 34 of the original station points, with different markings, i.e. a drilled hole in rock, iron cross, cairns, or built obelisks."

斯特鲁维地理探测弧线

"斯特鲁维地理探测弧线是一个三角测量链，北起挪威哈 默菲斯特(Hammerfest)，南至黑海，弧线穿越十个国家，长2820公里。弧线是天文学家弗里德理西·格奥尔格·威廉·斯特鲁维 (Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve)于1816至1855年期间进行测量的测量点，代表着人类首次对子午线长短的精确测量。这一测量帮助人类掌握了地球的确切大小和形状，是地 球科学和地形绘图学发展中的重要一步。这个弧线不仅是多国科学家通力合作的一个特例，也是多国君主为科学事业联袂协作的一个特例。原始弧线包含258个主 要三角形和265个测量站点。列入世界遗产名录的弧有34个原始测量站点，带有各种不同标记，如岩石钻孔、铁十字、堆石标或方尖石碑。"

852 LV - Historic Centre of Riga (1997)

Brief Description

"Riga was a major centre of the Hanseatic League, deriving its prosperity in the 13th–15th centuries from the trade with central and eastern Europe. The urban fabric of its medieval centre reflects this prosperity, though most of the earliest buildings were destroyed by fire or war. Riga became an important economic centre in the 19th century, when the suburbs surrounding the medieval town were laid out, first with imposing wooden buildings in neoclassical style and then in Jugendstil. It is generally recognized that Riga has the finest collection of art nouveau buildings in Europe."

里加历史中心
"里加是汉萨同盟的一个主要中心，它同中欧和东欧的贸易在13 世纪至15世纪一度非常繁荣。尽管大部分的早期建筑受到火灾和战争的破坏，但是中世纪中期的城市建筑仍然反映了这种繁荣。19世纪里加成为重要的经济中 心，中世纪城镇的市郊已经建成，风格从开始的古典木制建筑转入“新艺术”风格。里加被公认为欧洲最精美的“新艺术”建筑风格的中心。"
