Colvin:
but I have quite a way to go to reach the goal of completing all the sites inscribed in a given year.
I have visited all of the 1989 inscriptions - but there were only 7!!!
Archaeological Site of Mystras Greece
Archaeological Site of Olympia Greece
Buddhist Monuments at Sanchi India
Cliff of Bandiagara (Land of the Dogons) Mali
Banc d'Arguin National Park Mauritania
Monastery of AlcobaƧa Portugal
Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls Zambia Zimbabwe
The lowest year of all in terms of numbers? But also with a few top class sites and 4 of them included in our Community Top 200 - Olympia, Bandiagara, Banc d'Arguin and Vic Falls. Sanchi and Mystras got a "maybe" with only Alcobaca a definite "no". About "right" I would have thought. Banc d'Arguin and Mystras are a bit "specialist" and Alcobaca is "interesting" but not top class. The others all certainly justify their inscription - and a "visit"!!
