Sitios del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO en Italia

Italy's UNESCO World Heritage

This collection spans millennia of Italian history, from the 5th-century BC Greek temples of Akragas and Paestum to the 18th-century Royal Palace of Caserta. It features remarkably preserved Roman urban centers at Pompeii and Herculaneum alongside the unique cave-dwelling architecture of Matera’s Sassi. Architectural highlights include the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna, the medieval shell-shaped Piazza del Campo in Siena, and the Renaissance water gardens of Villa d'Este. Natural landmarks are represented by the active stratovolcano of Mount Etna and the dramatic coastal landscapes of Amalfi.
