Megaliths of Carnac and of the shores of Morbihan

There's a local tradition that claims that the reason these stones stand in such perfectly straight lines is that they are a Roman legion turned to stone by Pope Cornelius.

Carnac Stones

This postcard was sent by José

The Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites near the south coast of Brittany in northwestern France, consisting of stone alignments (rows), dolmens (stone tombs), tumuli (burial mounds) and single menhirs (standing stones). More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local granite and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany and form the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton municipality of Carnac, but some to the east are within neighboring La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as early as 4500 BC. - in: wikipedia

Baekje Historic Areas

This is one of two or three sites from where I have postcards with artifacts that were found in the heritage site but are exposed somewhere else. 
This property comprises eight archaeological sites related to the last period of the Baekje Kingdom.

Seoksu found in the Tomb of King Muryeong

This postcard arrived from Italy sent by Marina

The Tomb of King Muryeong, also known as Songsan-ri Tomb No. 7, is the ancient tumulus of King Muryeong, who ruled the Baekje from 501 to 523, and his queen. The rarity of intact Baekje tombs makes this one of the major archaeological discoveries in Korea and a crucial source for the understanding of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

From the tomb, 2906 objects were excavated and subsequently classified into 108 categories. The most important objects include two pairs of royal diadems made for the king and queen and two stone epigraphs containing valuable inscriptions and dates. The epigraphs give the name and age of the king and queen and dates of their deaths and burials, a rarity for Korean tombs. These dates are also extremely valuable as they corroborate exactly the text of the Samguk Sagi. - in: wikipedia

The Palaces of King Ludwig II of Bavaria: Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, Schachen and Herrenchiemsee

This serial property consists of four grand palace complexes in Bavaria’s alpine region, built under King Ludwig II between 1864 and 1886.

Neuschwanstein Palace

This postcard was sent by Norbert

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged hill of the foothills of the Alps in the very south of Germany, near the border with Austria. It is located in the Swabia region of Bavaria, in the municipality of Schwangau, above the incorporated village of Hohenschwangau, which is also the location of Hohenschwangau Castle.

Neuschwanstein Palace

This postcard was sent by Kurt

Despite the main residence of the Bavarian monarchs at the time—the Munich Residenz—being one of the most extensive palace complexes in the world, King Ludwig II of Bavaria felt the need to escape from the constraints he saw himself exposed to in Munich, and commissioned Neuschwanstein Castle on the remote northern edges of the Alps as a retreat but also in honour of composer Richard Wagner, whom he greatly admired.

Ludwig chose to pay for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing rather than Bavarian public funds. Construction began in 1869 but was never completed. The castle was intended to serve as a private residence for the king but he died in 1886, and it was opened to the public shortly after his death. - in: wikipedia

Zagori Cultural Landscape

I'd prefer to have a postcard of one of the Zagorochoria villages but this one is also beautiful and located in the protected area

Drakolimni, Zagori

This postcard was sent by Monika

Zagori Cultural Landscape is located in the mountainous region of Epirus, in northwestern Greece. The property consists of a rural landscape where small villages known as Zagorochoria or Zagori villages extend along the western slopes of the northern part of the Pindus Mountain range. In this remote area characterised by a diversity of geological formations, flora and fauna, these traditional settlements underwent a transformation influenced by remittances sent by expatriates to fund private and public infrastructure during the 18th and 19th centuries. An impressive network of stone-arched bridges, stone cobbled paths, and stone staircases linking the villages in the present Municipality of Zagori formed a system that served as a political and social unit connecting the communities located mainly in Voïdomatis River basin. Zagorochoria are typically organized around a central square containing a plane tree. Each village showcases drystone cobbled pathways adapted to the topography, and some are still surrounded by sacred forests maintained by local communities. The central square is dedicated to community life, and functions as a centre for social gatherings and religious events. Combining natural and cultural elements, Zagorochoria exhibit a traditional architecture of limestone masonry that persists but has become vulnerable due to socio-cultural and environmental pressures. - in: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1695

Portovenere, Cinque Terre, and the Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto)

I read somewhere that these small towns of great scenic and cultural value used to be quiet and peaceful, but after being inscribed on the UNESCO list, they are now full of tourists.

Cinque Terre

This postcard was sent by Karen

The Ligurian coast between Cinque Terre and Portovenere is a cultural landscape of great scenic and cultural value. The layout and disposition of the small towns and the shaping of the surrounding landscape, overcoming the disadvantages of a steep, uneven terrain, encapsulate the continuous history of human settlement in this region over the past millennium. - in: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/826/

Vernazza

Vernazza is a town and comune located in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northwestern Italy. It is one of the five towns that make up the Cinque Terre region. Vernazza is the fourth town heading north, has no car traffic, and remains one of the truest "fishing villages" on the Italian Riviera.

Corniglia

Corniglia is a frazione ("fraction") of the comune of Vernazza in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy with a population of about 150 (in 2016). Unlike the other localities of the Cinque Terre, Corniglia is not directly adjacent to the sea. Instead, it is on the top of a promontory about 100 metres high, surrounded on three sides by vineyards and terraces, the fourth side descends steeply to the sea. To reach Corniglia, it is necessary to climb the Lardarina, a long brick flight of steps composed of 33 flights with 382 steps or, otherwise follow a vehicular road that, from the station, leads to the village.

Monterosso al Mare

Monterosso al Mare is a town and comune in the province of La Spezia, part of the region of Liguria (northern Italy). It is one of the five villages in Cinque Terre.

The Porticoes of Bologna

This site would be much easier for UNESCO postcard collectors if it was Bologna and its Porticoes. But no, it's just the porticoes of Bologna. Nevertheless, their surrounding built areas are also included and most of the historic center is at least in the buffer zone. 

Last May I was in Bologna for work, but I managed to take a few hours to see the city and buy some postcards.

Bologna

The serial property comprises twelve component parts consisting of ensembles of porticoes and their surrounding built areas, located within the Municipality of Bologna from the 12th century to the present. These portico ensembles are considered to be the most representative among city’s porticoes, which cover a total stretch of 62 km. Some of the porticoes are built of wood, others of stone or brick, as well as reinforced concrete, covering roads, squares, paths and walkways, either on one or both sides of a street. The property includes porticoed buildings that do not form a structural continuum with other buildings and therefore are not part of a comprehensive covered walkway or passage. The porticoes are appreciated as sheltered walkways and prime locations for merchant activities. - in: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1650/

Two Towers, Bologna

This postcard was sent by Alessandro

The Two Towers (Italian: Le due torri), both of them leaning, are the symbol of Bologna, Italy, and the most prominent of the Towers of Bologna. They are located at the intersection of the roads that lead to the five gates of the old ring wall (mura dei torresotti). The taller one is called the Asinelli while the smaller but more leaning tower is called the Garisenda. Their names derive from the families which are traditionally credited with having constructed the towers between 1109 and 1119. Their construction was a competition between the two families to show which was the more powerful family. However, the scarcity of documents from this early period makes this in reality rather uncertain. The name of the Asinelli family, for example, is documented for the first time actually only in 1185, almost 70 years after the presumed construction of the tower which is attributed to them. - in: wikipedia

Portico of San Luca

This postcard was sent by Martinha

THE PORTICO OF SAN LUCA, THE LONGEST ‘CORRIDOR’ EVER BUILT IN THE WORLD

The walk up to the top of the Colle della Guardia to reach the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca is a tradition that began in the 12th century, when the first church was built to guard and protect an icon of the Byzantine school depicting the Madonna and Child, which religious tradition attributes to St Luke.

There are no less than 3,796 metres of covered and well-paved walkway, made up of 316 arches for the walk on the plain from Porta Saragozza to the Meloncello arch, and 350 arches for the hilly stretch from the Meloncello passage to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, for a total of 666 arches.

The number of arches has a profound symbolic meaning: 666 is the devil’s number, and the long, winding portico recalls the serpent, i.e. the devil, and terminating at the foot of the Sanctuary refers to the iconography of the devil defeated and crushed under the foot of the Madonna.

Portico of San Luca

The construction of the portico was completed by the Bolognese architect Carlo Francesco Dotti (1670-1759) to whom we also owe the construction of the new basilica designed for the occasion of the portico and the Arco del Meloncello, the point where the portico leaves Via Saragozza and begins the uphill path to the top of the Colle della Guardia. - in: https://www.guidadibologna.com/the-portico-of-san-luca-the-longest-corridor-ever-built-in-the-world/?lang=en

Jewish-Medieval Heritage of Erfurt

I already had a postcard from Erfurt but it doesn't show any of Jewish-Medieval sites.The old synagogue is one of the best preserved Medieval synagogues in Europe.

Erfurt Old Synagogue, Mikveh, and Stone House

This postcard was sent by Ina

Located in the heart of the Old Town of Erfurt in Thuringia, the Jewish-Medieval Heritage of Erfurt comprises the Old Synagogue, the Mikveh and the Stone House, which are rare and exceptionally preserved examples of Central European Jewish buildings that illustrate, in their built fabric, architectural details and decoration programme, the adaptation to the town’s specific spatial and social conditions and the coexistence of a Jewish community with a predominantly Christian society, during the urban development of Erfurt at the crossroads of important commercial routes in Central Europe in the Middle Ages. The property sheds light on the heyday of a Jewish community engaged with trade and exchanges in Central Europe during the Middle Ages, between the late 11th and mid-14th centuries CE, until the Black Death wave of pogroms. - in: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1656/
