Venice has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, thanks to its grand architecture and canal network. Yet, the city has been under concern for the last few years due to climate change and the effects of over-tourism. 

The result is that UNESCO has now proposed that Venice be added to its list of World Heritage in Danger sites.

Amongst the list are ancient cities like Aleppo in Syria, Jerusalem in Israel, and the historic center of Odesa in Ukraine.

The matter of Venice’s inclusion was last discussed at a UNESCO meeting in September. Italian officials have attempted to rectify the situation by banning cruise ships along the waterways and considering a tourist tax in an attempt to limit the number of visitors, but the global organization has called these measures “currently insufficient and not detailed enough.”

UNESCO further stated that Italy has not been communicating in a sustained and substantive manner since its last Committee session in 2021 when the threat of blacklisting the City of Water was already under consideration.

The Venetian municipality has said that it would review the proposed decision and discuss it with the Italian government.

The street food in Singapore tells the story of how the country developed. From a small and humble fishing village, it transformed into a buzzing, modern city. The food, however, didn’t change a lot over time, and it’s a great testimony of the past times.

You can taste soups, noodles, and many other signature dishes across Singapore. The stalls are small but always crowded. For a few Singapore dollars, you can get a satisfying meal that will make you wonder why this is not the standard everywhere in the world.

Singaporean hawkers don’t just sell meals; they are a big part of the local culture and tradition, and an important destination for travelers who come from all around the planet. The fact that UNESCO recognized that and put them on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity means a lot.

This list recognizes unique cultural and traditional practices in particular locations. It includes music, festivals, crafts, food, and other things.

Have you tried Singaporean street food? It’s amazing that it will now be protected from extinction so we can enjoy it for many years to come.

While it might not have spectacular beaches or be as famous as cities like Alicante and Valencia nearby, Elche is a fascinating city that’s definitely worth getting to know.

Parts of Spain, including where Elche is located, were ruled by the Moors for several centuries until nearly 1500. Elche itself was under their rule throughout the Middle Ages, until 1244. Their fingerprints still remain in this city.

In Elche, you can find “El Palmeral,” a massive plantation of date palms that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Moors implemented an irrigation system that allowed this grove to grow in Europe due to Elche’s warm climate. It’s the only date palm plantation in all of Europe and is a beautiful and fascinating place to walk around and visit.

Elche’s Old Town also has plenty of signs of its Moorish past. By strolling around its pedestrian-only streets, you can see architecture and blue domes that are clearly inspired by Arabic architecture.

Believe it or not, you can also visit an underground Arab bath complex dating back to 1150. It has been excavated and can now be visited, providing a fascinating look at Elche’s past.

Be sure to check out Elche if you’re in Spain!
