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).

This WHS is located in the municipality of Vilnius. Vilnius was the centre of political power of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from the 13th – 18th centuries, and consequently, it was influential in impacting the culture and architecture of eastern Europe. Currently, the WHS includes an impressive array of preserved Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical buildings set in a medieval layout amidst a natural setting.
