Thanks, good idea! Could you upload your Flickr photos (as linked above) to our site? I cannot link to an external source for them

I submitted and labelled the applicable photos for viewpoints for Vizcaya Bridge. I also changed the name to the UNAM photos, if that helps.

Cuzco (Peru)

Less than a 20 minute walk from the Plaza de Armas, Totorapaccha is inscribed as part of the Qhapac Nan WHS and the Cuzco WHS. The Antisuyu Route from the Plaza will lead you to a preserved section of the Qhapac Nan (which lies just outside the boundary of the Cuzco WHS). The end of the Cuzco world heritage boundary in this part of the city is Jardines del Inca, adjacent to the preserved path of the Antisuyu Route (Qhapac Nan).

Inside inscribed boundary for Cuzco:
Totorapaccha: -13.513427862085747, -71.96971345542674

Just outside the boundary of Cuzco:
Qhapac Nan, Antisuyu Route: -13.51265734051555, -71.97042249806834

Nice (France)

I only recently discovered the Cimiez ruins were inscribed, as they were discovered and unearthed within the grounds of a wealthy estate, which eventually incorporated parts of the ruins into the large garden parks. The Cathedral of Saint Nicholas is a striking Russian Orthodox Cathedral built in 1912.

Indeed, though I do think there are still yet a few more special POI's that I hope to discover on a return visit to the isle of my ancestors and relatives. I'm glad future visits to Öland may be even more rewarding for people within our community, there is more than meets the eye for this onion of a World Heritage Site! I hope to return in 2027 (a decade after my first visit).

The Core Zone Maps and POI's have been a fantastic and useful addition. Happy to make a few contributions!

The Historic Town of St George and Related Fortifications, Bermuda

Railway Trail to Martello Tower: 32.37222046372334, -64.70189663965046
- Historic trail along the old railway line which straddles the coastline, passing the scenic Lover's Lake (Ramsar Wetland) before arriving at 4 components of the WHS (Martello's Tower, Burn Point Fort, Ferry Island Fort, and Ferry Reach Magazine)

I submitted photos of all 4 components (named above), as well as 5 other fort components. Perhaps, we can start a gallery of fortification component locations?
