The transnational site, “The Great Spa Towns of Europe,” has been inscribed on the world heritage list, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) announced on Saturday.
The decision, made during the UNESCO World Heritage Committee’s 44th session held online and chaired from Fuzhou, China, was warmly welcomed by spa towns across Europe. The world heritage site comprises 11 towns located in seven European countries Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.
The spa buildings and facilities of this site “are all integrated into an overall urban context that includes a carefully managed recreational and therapeutic environment in a picturesque landscape” and “embody the significant interchange of human values and developments in medicine, science and balneology,” said the UNESCO committee.
