World Heritage Cities: art, history and much more. Spain's World Heritage Cities comprise 13 urban destinations whose centres and monuments figure on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The association was created in 1993 and includes: Alcalá de Henares, Ávila, Cáceres, Cordoba, Cuenca, Eivissa, Salamanca, San Cristóbal de la Laguna, Santiago de Compostela, Segovia and Toledo. The valuable historic legacy of these destinations is just one part of their attraction. Come and discover all the rest.
Spanish World Heritage Cities – the privilege of history

Spain has a lot to offer, and this is something backed up by UNESCO: Spain is the world's nation with the second most designated World Heritage Sites. In order to receive this privileged designation, a site must form a unique artistic achievement, have influenced a specific period in history or constitute an exceptional testimony to a culture no longer in existence. These are just some of the requisites. These universally important sites belong to all of us, you included. Come and discover some of our World Heritage Cities.
