Connections

Many WHS are connected with others in surprising ways. This section of the "World Heritage Site" aims to identify some of those "Connections"! for instance; A number of WHS may all have played a significant part in the life of the same individual in history, or may have the same type of building within them or have been connected to the same historical event. Indeed the main limitation on identifying "Connections" is likely to be our imagination and our detailed knowledge of the sites themselves! if you can identify some more let me know via the form to the left. The only restrictions are that the Connection should
a. not be "self evident"
b. link at least 3 different sites
c. not duplicate or merely subdivide the "Category" assignment already identified on this site.
d. add some knowledge or insight (whether significant or trivial!) about WHS for the users of this site!
