The site is located in southwestern Iran, in the lower Zagros Mountains, and includes a group of archaeological mounds on the eastern bank of the Savur River, and the palace of Ardashir on the other side of the river. Excavated architectural remains include administrative, residential and palace buildings. Susa contains multiple layers of continuous urban settlements that lasted from the late 5th century BC to the 13th century AD. The site is an outstanding testimony to Elamite, Persian and Parthian cultural traditions that have largely disappeared.
Old City of Berne
Bern was founded in the 12th century on a hill surrounded by the Aare River. Over the centuries, Bern has been planned with great consistency. The buildings in the old town date from different periods, including 15th-century arcades and 16th-century fountains. Most of the medieval town was restored in the 18th century, but it still retains its original appearance.
Roman Monuments, Cathedral of St Peter and Church of Our Lady in Trier

At the end of the 3rd century, Trier became one of the capitals of the Tetrarchy and was known as the "Second Rome". The number and quality of the existing monuments are outstanding testimonies of Roman civilization.
Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin
Potsdam's palace and park complex covers 500 hectares and comprises 150 buildings built between 1730 and 1916, forming an artistic whole whose eclectic character enhances its uniqueness. It extends into the Berlin-Zehlendorf district, with palaces and parks along the banks of the Havel River and Lake Glienicke.

Golden Mountains of Altai
The Altai Mountains in southern Siberia are the main mountain range of the Western Siberian biogeographic region and the source of the region's largest rivers, the Ob and Irtysh. The region is divided into three separate areas: the buffer zone around the Altai Mountains and Lake Teletskoye; the buffer zone around the Katun Mountains and Mount Belukha; and the Ukok Quiet Zone on the Ukok Plateau. The total area is 1,611,457 hectares. The region represents the most complete sequence of high-altitude vegetation zones in central Siberia, including steppe, forest-steppe, mixed forest, subalpine vegetation, and alpine vegetation. The area is also an important habitat for endangered animal species such as the snow leopard.
