Other sites added to the UNESCO list include Slovakian wooden churches, German early 20th century low-income housing, the Renaissance towns of Mantua and Sabbioneta in Italy, and the Stari Grad Plain on the Adriatic island of Hvar, farmed for 2,400 years.

San Marino, too, entered the coveted ranks of the heritage list, said the committee, “as a testimony to the continuity of a free republic since the Middle Ages.”
