Today is #WorldHeritage Day - or more correctly, the "International Day for Monuments and Sites (IDMS)".

Celebrated since 1982 on April 18, this is an opportunity to reflect on our common shared #CulturalHeritage, what needs to be done for its protection and to celebrate #culture together with diversity in unity.

There are 100s of events around the world, which can be found through local & regional chapters of @UNESCO & @ICOMOS

#WorldCulture, #CulturalDiversity

A photo showing a large room with tiled floors and stained glass window. Below the windows is an all surrounding built stone bench, which is covered with classic carpets and pillows. In the middle of the room is a fountain. The room is decorated in the traditional "oriental" Tartar style. The photo shows the inside of the summer pavillon of the Bakhchysarai Palace, also know as "Khan's Palace" or "Hansaray", located in the town of Bakhchysarai, Crimea. Built in the 16th century, It belongs to the #CulturalHeritage of the Crimean Tartars, #Ukraine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakhchysarai_Palace

The Australian World Heritage List has 20 places, including entries like "Australian Convict Sites" that actually encompass 11 places in Australia like:

- "Port Arthur Historic Site" (visited),
- "Cockatoo Island" (visited), and
- "Fremantle Prison (former)" (yet to visit).

So there are really 39 individual world heritage listed places to explore in Australia.

I've also visited 32 out of 123 *national* heritage listed places in Australia.

It is unlikely I will ever visit the penguins at Heard and McDonald Islands, but one can dream.

I’ve Visited 10 of the 20 World Heritage Listed Places in Australia Map of Australia shows places Visited and Yet to Visit. Labelled and visited places include: Great Barrier Reef, Sydney Opera House, Uluru & Kata Tjuta. Unlabelled, visited places include: a convict site marked at Cockatoo Island, Naracoorte Australian Fossil Mammal Sites, Gondwana Rainforests of Australia marked at Lamington National Park, Greater Blue Mountains Area, Kakadu National Park, Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens, and Wet Tropics of Queensland marked at Cairns. Labelled and unvisited places include: Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, K'gari, Ningaloo Coast, Purnululu National Park, Shark Bay, Tasmanian Wilderness, and Willandra Lakes Region. Arrows indicate that Heard and McDonald Islands, Lord Howe Island Group, and Macquarie Island are out of view off the edge of the map.

There are more than 1,000 sites inscribed on the #UNESCO #WorldHeritage List - places of extraordinary beauty and importance.

It is easy to overlook the importance of preserving our collective #CulturalHeritage, which is integral to our identity and our sense of #history. Especially in times of war, so many of them are destroyed or in danger.

We need to safeguard them for future generations and protect our shared heritage for the benefit of all.

#Doorsday's child has far to go ... all the way to #Córdoba in fact.

This is a lovely old #door from the Mosque-Cathedral or #Mezquita with details of #MoorishArchitecture. In fact, it's one of the oldest surviving gates of the former mosque! The door's decoration dates back to 855 when it was known as Bab al-Wuzara ("Viziers' Gate"). Lots of Al-Andalus state officials used to enter the mosque here. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic #cathedral in the 13th century. It's a World Heritage Site since 1984.

A weathered stone facade, likely part of a historic building such as the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, dominates the frame. The stonework is a light beige, showing significant signs of age and erosion, with varied textures and uneven surfaces. A prominent horseshoe archway, characteristic of Moorish architecture, frames a set of aged, dark metal double doors. The arch is outlined in a lighter stone and features alternating red and white voussoirs. Above the archway, there is a rectangular panel with intricate, though worn, carvings. Flanking the central archway are sections of the stone wall with further decorative elements, including what appear to be blocked-up windows or niches with geometric patterns. The top of the facade is crenellated, with a series of rectangular merlons against a partly cloudy blue sky. The ground in front of the facade is paved with light-coloured stone slabs, showing some signs of wear.

The Newark Earthworks in Ohio are monuments to the human genius of ancient people who built them. These awe-inspiring structures have earned World Heritage status as one of the world’s most magnificent wonders. We can only guess the purposes and meanings they had for their builders and for others who have marveled at them over the centuries.

Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio and Australian surfer Mick Fanning are calling on Australia's government to shut down industrial salmon farms in a World Heritage area. These farms have been linked to the rapid decline of an endangered native fish, the Maugean skate. DiCaprio and Fanning urged their social media followers to help save the Maugean skate and prevent the extinction of this unique species while protecting the wilderness from destruction. #SaveTheMaugeanSkate #StopSalmonFarming #ProtectWilderness #EndangeredSpecies #Conservation #Tasmania #WorldHeritage #LeonardoDiCaprio #MickFanning

The majestic Perito Moreno Glacier extends into Argentino Lake, surrounded by rugged snow-capped mountains and endless forests and trees. It is a combination of a harsh, cold environment softened by a cluster of flowering trees in the foreground.
