    TOWER OF HERCULES, CORUNA, GALICIA

    As if it wasnt enough for Galicia to have one of

    the most extraordinary coastlines in Spain, the

    region bagged a fair share of the countrys

    fantastic seafood too, selfishly took Santiago deCompostela and to top it all walked off with the

    worlds oldest working lighthouse.

    EL ESCORIAL, MADRID

    is vast World Heritage Site was commissioned by

    Philip II of Spain in the mid-16thcentury to atone

    for various bits and pieces of bad behavior, think:

    sacking churches, loose interpretation of

    marriage vows and the purloining of quite a

    sizeable amount of New World Gold.

    LA LONJA DE LA SEDA, VALENCIA

    Is one of the few secular World Heritage Sites in

    Spain and the countrys finest example of late

    Gothic architecture? With its beautifully

    weathered gargoyles, soaring columns, huge

    arched windows and almost overwhelming use of

    marble, La Lonja is a stunning testimony to the

    power and influence of 15thcentury Valencia.

    ALHAMBRA, GRANADA

    is certainly one of the loveliest in the world. The

    Alhambra was originally built as a fortress in the

    9thcentury, added to by centuries of rulers and

    invaders and even the Duke of Wellington (forest

    of elm), allowed to fall into disrepair and finally

    restored with a few glitches along the way to

    become Europes finest example of Islamic,Christian and secular architecture.

    SIEGA VERDE, SALAMANCA Siega Verde in

    Spains Salamanca Region on the border of Portugal

    was designated a World Heritage Site in 2010.

    Officially Siega Verde is an extension of Portugals

    (1981)

    south of France. Located on the east bank of the

    Rhne river, its known mainly for its superbamphitheater, Les Arnes, the largest Roman

    building in Gaul.

    Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Abbey of Saint-

    Rmi and the Tau Palace (1991)

    Reims, the capital of Champagne and located

    just north East of Paris has a fabulous cathedral

    among its many attractions. As UNESCO statesThe outstanding handling of new architectural

    techniques in the 13th century, and the

    harmonious marriage of sculptural decoration

    with architecture, has made Notre-Dame in

    Reims one of the masterpieces of Gothic art.

    Chartres Cathedral (1979)

    Chartres is one of the great Gothic cathedrals of

    Europe. It stands up above the flat countryside,an enduring landmark in medieval and religious

    history. It was begun in 1154, caught fire in 1194

    then was reconstructed over a very short 26-year

    period. So it is a remarkably cohesive example of

    French Gothic architecture.

    The Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay (1981)

    The great Abbey of Fontenay, founded by

    Bernard of Clairvaux in 1119, stands deep in thecountryside of Burgundy. Like all such great

    foundations, it suffered over the centuries. Buttoday what is left is a remarkable collection ofbuildings, giving you a very real idea of what

    monastic life was like in the Middle Ages.
