Photo Gallery--UNESCO sites, historic monuments, and architectural wonders

Travel bloggers share their favorite UNESCO, historical, and architectural sites


You might want to add some of these to your own bucket list.  My contribution is Israel’s ancient port city of Akko, which was once the capital of St. Jean d’Acre, an ancient Crusader kingdom.  Though Napoleon tried, he was unable to conquer it in 1799.  Today, the old walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
