Seventeenth-Century Canal Ring Area of Amsterdam inside the Singelgracht
The historic urban complex of Amsterdam's canal district was a project for a new "port city" built in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It included a network of canals to the west and south of the historic old town and the medieval port surrounding the old town, while relocating the city's defensive border, the Singel, inland. It was a long-term plan that involved extending the city by draining marshland, using a system of canals in concentric arcs, and filling in the spaces in between. These spaces allowed the development of a homogeneous urban complex with gabled houses and numerous monuments. This urban extension was the largest and most homogeneous of its time. It was a model for large-scale town planning and was a reference worldwide until the 19th century.
Caliphate City of Medina Azahara
The Caliphate city of Medina Azahara is an archaeological site that was built by the Umayyads in the middle of the 10th century AD as the capital of the Caliphate of Cordoba. After a few years of prosperity, the city was razed to the ground during the civil war of 1821. The Caliphate fell in 1009-1010. The remains of the city were forgotten for nearly 1,000 years until they were rediscovered in the early 20th century. This complete urban complex includes infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water systems, buildings, decorative elements, and everyday objects. It provides an insight into the now-vanished Islamic civilization of Andalusia, which was at its peak.
Bolgar Historical and Archaeological Complex
The site is located along the Volga River, just south of its confluence with the Kama River, south of Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. It contains the remains of the medieval city of Bulgar, an early settlement of the Volga-Bulgar civilization, which existed between the 7th and 15th centuries AD and was the first capital of the Golden Horde in the 13th century. Bulgar represents centuries of historical and cultural exchange and transformation in Eurasia, playing a key role in the formation of civilizations, customs and cultural traditions. The site provides remarkable evidence of historical continuity and cultural diversity. It is a symbolic reminder of the Volga-Bulgar people's acceptance of Islam in 922 AD and remains a holy place of pilgrimage for Tatar Muslims.
