Great World Wonders - 100 Remarkable World Heritage Sites

Opulent palaces let us peek into the lives of the rich and famous, while the centres of great empires show the evolution of civilisations. There's the surprising beauty in industrial sites from the past century, and the dazzling buildings that were constructed in the name of love. And through it all is the inescapable influence of human behaviour, with many of the World Heritage Sites directly linked to important historical events and people.
