Treasury of World Culture. Archaeological Sites and Urban Centres

This is the first volume in a three-volume series jointly published by Skira with UNESCO. The aim of the series is to illustrate and describe these valuable sites and to establish them as a shared and universal heritage of contemporary society. This rich volume presents 46 emblematic archaeological areas and urban centres, including places of worship, urban settlements, and historic and architectural complexes, which constitute an ideal tour of the history, cultures and creative expressions of humanity.
