My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

Venice, located in the Veneto region, was founded in 5th century CE and located over 118 small islands. The initial settlement by humans on the small islands developed into a unique urban-scape of hydraulic and architectural interactions with the natural landscape. Venice grew to become a major maritime power in the 10th century CE. Concurrent with that rise, its buildings developed architectural masterpieces containing artwork by famed artists.
