2004 - Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens / Palais royal des 

expositions et jardins Carlton (Criterion ii) 

Brief Description 

The Royal Exhibition Building and its surrounding Carlton Gardens were designed for the great 

international exhibitions of 1880 and 1888 in Melbourne. The building and grounds were designed by 

Joseph Reed. The building is constructed of brick and timber, steel and slate. It combines elements 

from the Byzantine, Romanesque, Lombardic and Italian Renaissance styles. The property is typical of 

the international exhibition movement which saw over 50 exhibitions staged between 1851 and 1915 in 

venues including Paris, New York, Vienna, Calcutta, Kingston (Jamaica) and Santiago (Chile). All 

shared a common theme and aims: to chart material and moral progress through displays of industry 

from all nations 

Justification for Inscription 

Criterion (ii): The Royal Exhibition Building and the surrounding Carlton Gardens, as the main extant 

survivors of a Palace of Industry and its setting, together reflect the global influence of the international 

exhibition movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The movement showcased technological 

innovation and change, which helped promote a rapid increase in industrialisation and international 

trade through the exchange of knowledge and ideas. 

Brève description 

Le Palais royal des expositions et les jardins Carlton qui l‟entourent ont été conçus pour les grandes 

expositions internationales de 1880 et 1888 à Melbourne. Le bâtiment et le terrain ont été dessinés par 

Joseph Reed. Le bâtiment, construit en brique, bois, acier et ardoise, amalgame des traits byzantins, 

romans, lombards et de la Renaissance italienne. Cet ensemble est représentatif du mouvement des 

expositions internationales. Entre 1851 et 1915, plus de 50 d‟entre elles furent organisées dans des 

villes comme Paris, New York, Vienne, Calcutta, Kingston (Jamaïque) et Santiago du Chili, sur la base 

d‟un principe et d‟un objectif commun : dresser un état des lieux du progrès en exposant les 

réalisations de tous les pays. 

Justification d'inscription 

Critère (ii): Le Palais royal des expositions et les jardins Carlton environnants, en tant que principaux 

vestiges d‟un Palais de l‟Industrie et de son cadre, reflètent ensemble l‟influence mondiale du 

Mouvement des expositions internationales du XIX e siècle et du début du XX e siècle. Ce mouvement 

mettait en exergue l‟innovation technologique et le changement, qui ont contribué à favoriser un 

développement rapide de l‟industrialisation et du commerce international par l‟échange des 

connaissances et des idées.

1997 - Cultural Landscape of Dachstein/Salzkammergut / Paysage culturel de 

Hallstatt- Dachstein/Salzkammergut (Criteria iii - iv) 

Brief description 

Human activity in the magnificent natural landscape of the Salzkammergut began in prehistoric times, 

with the salt deposits being exploited as early as the 2nd millennium B.C. This resource formed the 

basis of the area's prosperity up to the middle of the 20th century, a prosperity that is reflected in the 

fine architecture of the town of Hallstatt. 

Outstanding universal value 

The Hallstatt-Dachstein alpine landscape, part of the Salzkammergut, and thus of the Eastern Alps, is 

one of visual drama with huge mountains rising abruptly form narrow valleys. Its prosperity since 

mediaeval times has been based on salt mining, focused on the town of Hallstatt, a name meaning salt 

settlement that testifies to its primary function. 

Systematic salt production was being carried out in the region as early as the Middle Bronze Age, (the 

late 2nd millennium BC), when natural brine was captured in vessels and evaporated. Underground 

mining for salt began at the end of the late Bronze Age and resumed in the 8th century BC when 

archaeological evidence shows a flourishing, stratified and highly organised Iron Age society with wide 

trade links across Europe and now known as the Hallstatt Culture. Salt mining continued in Roman 

times and was then revived in the 14th century. The large amounts of timber needed for the mines and 

for evaporating the salt where extracted from the extensive upland forests, which since the 16th century 

were controlled and managed directly by the Austrian Crown. The Town of Hallstatt was re-built in late 

Baroque style after a fire in 1750 destroyed the timber buildings. 

The beauty of the alpine landscape, with its higher pastures used for the summer grazing of sheep and 

cattle since prehistoric times as part of the process of transhumance, which still today gives the valley 

communities rights of access to specific grazing areas, was 'discovered' in the early 19th century by 

writers, such as Adalbert Stifler, novelist, and the dramatic poet Franz Grillparzer, and most of the 

leading paintings of the Biedermeier school. They were in turn followed by tourists and this led to the 

development of hotels and brine baths for visitors. 

The landscape is exceptional as a complex of great scientific interest and immense natural power that 

has played a vital role in human history reflected in the impact of farmer-miners over millennia, in the 

way mining has transformed the interior of the mountain and through the artists and writers that 

conveyed its harmony and beauty. 


The Committee decided to inscribe this site on the basis of criteria (iii) and (iv), considering that the 

Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut alpine region is an outstanding example of a natural landscape of 

3

great beauty and scientific interest which also contains evidence of a fundamental human economic 

activity, the whole integrated in a harmonious and mutually beneficial manner. 


L'activité humaine dans le splendide paysage naturel du Salzkammergut a commencé à l'époque 

préhistorique avec l'exploitation de ses dépôts de sel dès le II e millénaire av. J.-C. Cette ressource a 

constitué la base de la prospérité de la région jusqu'au milieu du XX e siècle, prospérité que reflète la 

belle architecture de la ville de Hallstatt. 

Valeur universelle exceptionnelle 

Le paysage alpin du Hallstatt-Dachstein, qui fait partie du Salzkammergut et donc des Alpes orientales, 

se caractérise par un environnement visuellement théâtral, peuplé de gigantesques montagnes 

surgissant abruptement d'étroites vallées. Depuis l'époque médiévale, sa prospérité repose sur 

l'extraction du sel centrée sur la ville de Hallstatt dont le nom signifie « établissement salin », rappel de 

sa fonction initiale. 

La production systématique de sel a commencé dans la région dès l'Âge du bronze moyen (fin du 2e 

millénaire av. J.-C.). L'eau salée naturelle était alors récupérée dans des récipients et l'on procédait à 

son évaporation. L'exploitation minière du sel commence à la fin de l'Âge du bronze et reprend au VIIIe 

siècle av. J.-C. comme en attestent des preuves archéologiques montrant une société de l'Âge du fer 

florissante, hiérarchisée et très organisée entretenant d'intenses relations commerciales avec l'Europe 

et maintenant connue sous le nom de « culture de Hallstatt ». L'extraction du sel va se poursuivre 

jusqu'à l'époque romaine et reprendre ensuite au XIVe siècle. Les grandes quantités de bois 

nécessaires pour étayer les galeries des mines et faire évaporer le sel étaient extraites des vastes 

forêts des massifs montagneux qui, depuis le XVIe siècle, étaient contrôlées et gérées directement par 

la couronne d'Autriche. La ville de Hallstatt a été reconstruite en style baroque tardif après un incendie 

en 1750 qui a détruit ses bâtiments en bois. 

La beauté du paysage alpin - avec ses pâturages d'altitude utilisés pour l'estive des moutons et des 

bovins depuis les temps préhistoriques lors du processus de transhumance qui, encore aujourd'hui, 

donne aux communautés de la vallée le droit d'accès à des zones de pâturage spécifiques situées en 

altitude -, a été « découverte » au début du XIXe siècle par des écrivains comme le romancier Adalbert 

Stifler, le poète dramaturge Franz Grillparzer et la plupart des peintres de renom de l'école de 

Biedermeier. Avec l'augmentation du nombre de touristes, les hôtels et thermes d'eau salée se sont 

développés pour accueillir les visiteurs. 

Le paysage est exceptionnel, formant un ensemble de grand intérêt scientifique et d'immense pouvoir 

naturel qui a joué un rôle fondamental dans l'histoire de l'homme, comme en témoigne l'empreinte des 

mineurs-fermiers au fil des siècles, tandis que l'exploitation minière transformait l'intérieur de la 

montagne et que les artistes et écrivains en décrivaient l'harmonie et la beauté. 


Le Comité a décidé d'inscrire ce site sur la base des critères (iii) et (iv). La région alpine du Hallstatt- 

Dachstein/Salzkammergut est un exemple exceptionnel de paysage culturel caractérisé par une 

immense beauté et un grand intérêt scientifique et renfermant également les témoignages d'une 

activité économique humaine fondamentale, le tout s'intégrant sur un mode harmonieux et 

réciproquement bénéfique.

1998 - Semmering Railway / Ligne de chemin de fer de Semmering (Criteria ii - iv) 


The Semmering Railway, built over 41 km of high mountains between 1848 and 1854, is one of the 

greatest feats of civil engineering from this pioneering phase of railway building. The high standard of 

the tunnels, viaducts and other works has ensured the continuous use of the line up to the present day. 

6

It runs through a spectacular mountain landscape and there are many fine buildings designed for 

leisure activities along the way, built when the area was opened up due to the advent of the railway. 


Criterion (ii): The Semmering Railway represents an outstanding technological solution to a major 

physical problem in the construction of early railways. 

Criterion (iv): With the construction of the Semmering Railway, areas of great natural beauty became 

more easily accessible and as a result these were developed for residential and recreational use, 

creating a new form of cultural landscape. 


La ligne de chemin de fer de Semmering, construite entre 1848 et 1854 pour permettre de traverser 41 

km de hautes montagnes, compte parmi les grandes prouesses de génie civil dans les premiers temps 

de la construction ferroviaire. Du fait de la qualité de ses tunnels, viaducs et autres ouvrages, la ligne 

est demeurée en service de manière ininterrompue jusqu'à nos jours. Elle traverse un paysage 

montagneux spectaculaire, où de nombreux édifices de qualité destinés aux loisirs ont pu être 

construits grâce à l'ouverture de la région avec l'arrivée du chemin de fer. 


Critère (ii): La ligne de chemin de fer du Semmering représente une solution technologique 

exceptionnelle à l‟un des problèmes physiques majeurs de la construction des premiers chemins de fer. 

Critère (iv): Avec la construction du chemin de fer du Semmering, l‟accès à des régions d‟une grande

1998 -The Four Lifts on the Canal du Centre and their Environs, La Louvière and 

Le Roeulx / Les quatre ascenseurs du canal du Centre et leur site, La Louvière 

et Le Roeulx (Hainault) (Criteria iii - iv) 


The four hydraulic boat-lifts on this short stretch of the historic Canal du Centre are industrial 

monuments of the highest quality. Together with the canal itself and its associated structures, they 

constitute a remarkably well-preserved and complete example of a late-19th-century industrial 

landscape. Of the eight hydraulic boat-lifts built at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th 

century, the only ones in the world which still exist in their original working condition are these four lifts 

on the Canal du Centre. 

Justification for inscription 

Criterion (iii): The boat-lifts of the Canal du Centre bear exceptional testimony to the remarkable 

hydraulic engineering developments of 19th-century Europe. 

Criterion (iv): These boat-lifts represent the apogee of the application of engineering technology to the 

construction of canals.

1987- City of Potosi / Ville de Potosi (Criteria ii - iv - vi) 


In the 16th century, this area was regarded as the world's largest industrial complex. The extraction of 

silver ore relied on a series of hydraulic mills. The site consists of the industrial monuments of the Cerro 

Rico, where water is provided by an intricate system of aqueducts and artificial lakes; the colonial town 

with the Casa de la Moneda; the Church of San Lorenzo; several patrician houses; and the barrios 

mitayos, the areas where the workers lived. 


L'endroit était considéré au XVIe siècle comme le plus grand complexe industriel du monde.

Bosnia and Herzegovina / Bosnie-Herzegovine 

2007- Mehmed pasa Sokolovic Bridge in Visegrad (Criteria ii - iv) 


The Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge of Višegrad across the Drina River in the east of Bosnia and 

Herzegovina was built at the end of the 16th century by the court architect Mimar Koca Sinan on the 

orders of Grand Vizier Mehmed Paša Sokolović. Characteristic of the apogee of Ottoman monumental 

architecture and civil engineering, the bridge has 11 masonry arches with spans of 11 m to 15 m, and 

an access ramp at right angles with four arches on the left bank of the river. The 179.5 m long bridge is 

a representative masterpiece of Sinan, one of the greatest architects and engineers of the classical 

Ottoman period and a contemporary of the Italian Renaissance, with which his work may be compared. 

The unique elegance of proportion and monumental nobility of the whole site bear witness to the 

greatness of this style of architecture. 


The universal value of the bridge at Višegrad is unquestionable for all the historical reasons and in view 

of the architectural values it has. It represents a major stage in the history of civil engineering and 

bridge architecture, erected by one of the most celebrated builders of the Ottoman Empire. 

The bridge particularly bears witness to the transmission and adaptation of techniques in the course of 

a long historical process. It also bears witness to important cultural exchanges between areas of 

different civilizations. It is an exceptional representative of Ottoman architecture and civil engineering at 

its classical apogee. Its symbolic role has been important through the course of history, and particularly 

in the many conflicts that took place in the 20th century. Its cultural value transcends both national and 

cultural borders. 

Criterion (ii): Located in a position of geostrategic importance, the bridge bears witness to important 

cultural exchanges between the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire and the Mediterranean world, between 

Christianity and Islam, through the long course of history. The management of the bridge and repairs 

made it to have also involved different political and cultural powers: after the Ottomans came the 

Austro-Hungarians, the Yugoslav Federation, and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

Criterion (iv): The Višegrad bridge is a remarkable architectural testimony to the apogee of the 

classical age of the Ottoman Empire, whose values and achievements mark an important stage in the 

history of humankind. 

The property, principally consisting of the bridge, the access ramp and the two river banks upstream 

and downstream, is protected by its buffer zone on each bank of the Drina river. The integrity of the 

bridge is vulnerable but is now adequately protected by the buffer zone and appropriately expresses 

the values it embodies. 

The Drina is a mountain river, drawing water from the mountains of the Balkans towards the Sava and 

the Danube Rivers. It is prone to flooding and the bridge parapets were destroyed in an exceptional 

flood in 1896. In addition, the bridge was severely damaged during both World Wars and, after 

temporary repairs, reconstructed in stone in the early 1950s. 

Despite these historical events, authenticity has generally been maintained through the course of the 

bridge's successive restorations. It remains fragile, its foundations being particularly threatened by the 

14

use of the two hydro-electric power stations, one in Bosnia and one in Serbia, that affect the water 

levels of the river. 

To allay this threat, the Serbian Ministry of Mines and Energy wrote to the Bosnian Commission to 

Preserve National Monuments on 27 June 2007. It supports the inscription of the bridge on the World 

Heritage List and also supports the formation of a bi-national working group to analyse the impact of 

power generation operations on the river in order to preserve the bridge. This initiative will complement 

the legal protection and management plan already in place. 


Construit à la fin du XVIe siècle sur la rivière Drina, à l‟est de la Bosnie-Herzégovine, le pont Mehmed 

Pacha Sokolović de Višegrad a été construit par Mimar Koca Sinan, l‟architecte de la cour, sur ordre du 

grand vizir Mehmed Pacha Sokolović. Il est caractéristique de l‟apogée de l‟architecture monumentale 

et du génie civil ottomans. Il possède 11 arches maçonnées dont les ouvertures sont comprises entre 

11 et 15 m, ainsi qu‟une rampe d‟accès à l‟orthogonale de quatre arches sur la rive gauche de la 

rivière. Ce pont, long de 179,5 m, est une réalisation majeure de Sinan, un des plus grands architectes 

et ingénieurs du style ottoman classique et un contemporain de la Renaissance italienne, avec laquelle 

son travail peut être comparé. L‟élégance de ses proportions et la noblesse monumentale uniques du 

bien témoignent de la grandeur de ce style d‟architecture. 


La valeur universelle exceptionnelle du pont de Višegrad est incontestable pour toutes les raisons 

historiques et étant donné les valeurs architecturales qu'il possède. Il représente une étape majeure de 

l'histoire du génie civil et de l'architecture des ouvrages d'art et a été réalisé par l'un des plus célèbres 

constructeurs de l'Empire ottoman. 

Le pont témoigne tout particulièrement de la transmission et de l'adaptation des techniques sur la 

longue durée de l'histoire. Il témoigne également d'importants échanges culturels entre des espaces de 

civilisations distincts. Il fournit un témoignage exceptionnel de l'architecture et du génie civil ottoman 

classiques à leur apogée. Son rôle symbolique a été important au cours de l'histoire, et 

particulièrement lors des nombreux conflits du XXe siècle. Sa valeur culturelle transcende les frontières 

à la fois nationales et culturelles. 

Critère (ii): Placé dans une position géostratégique, le pont témoigne d'importants échanges culturels 

entre les Balkans, l'Empire ottoman et le monde méditerranéen, entre la chrétienté et l'islam, sur la 

longue durée de l'histoire. La gestion et les réparations du pont ont aussi impliqué des pouvoirs 

politiques et culturels différents : après les Ottomans, les Austro-Hongrois, la Fédération yougoslave, la 

République de Bosnie-Herzégovine. 

Critère (iv): Le pont de Višegrad apporte un témoignage architectural remarquable de l'apogée de 

l'âge classique de l'Empire ottoman, dont les valeurs et les réalisations marquent une étape importante 

de l'histoire humaine. 

Le bien, essentiellement constitué du bridge, de la rampe d'accès et des deux berges de la rivière, en 

amont et en aval, est protégé par sa zone tampon sur chaque berge de la rivière Drina. L'intégrité du 

pont est vulnérable mais est maintenant correctement protégée par la zone tampon et exprime comme 

il convient les valeurs qu'il incarne. 

La Drina est une rivière de montagne qui draine les eaux des Balkans vers la Save et le Danube. Elle 

est sujette aux crues et les parapets du pont ont été détruits lors d'une crue exceptionnelle en 1896. En 

outre, le pont a été sérieusement endommagé au cours des deux guerres mondiales et, après des 

réparations temporaires, a été reconstruit en pierre au début des années cinquante. 

En dépit de ces événements historiques, l'authenticité a été généralement bien maintenue au cours 

des restaurations successives du pont. Il reste cependant fragile et ses fondations sont 

particulièrement menacées par l'utilisation de deux stations hydroélectriques - l'une en Bosnie et l'autre 

en Serbie - qui ont une incidence sur le niveau des eaux de la rivière.

Pour pallier ces menaces, le ministère serbe des mines et de l'énergie a écrit à la Commission 

bosniaque pour préserver les monuments nationaux le 27 juin 2007. Il appuie l'inscription du pont sur la 

Liste du patrimoine mondial et soutient également la formation d'un groupe de travail binational pour 

analyser l'impact du fonctionnement de la station hydroélectrique sur la rivière afin de préserver le pont. 

Cette initiative va compléter la protection juridique et le plan de gestion déjà en place.

Brazil / Brésil 

1980 - Historic Town of Ouro Preto / Ville historique d'Ouro Preto (Criteria i - iii) 


Founded at the end of the 17th century, Ouro Preto (Black Gold) was the focal point of the gold rush 

and Brazil's golden age in the 18th century. With the exhaustion of the gold mines in the 19th century, 

the city's influence declined but many churches, bridges and fountains remain as a testimony to its past 

prosperity and the exceptional talent of the Baroque sculptor Aleijadinho. 


Fondée à la fin du XVIIe siècle, la ville d'Ouro Preto (« l'Or noir ») a été le point de convergence de la 

ruée vers l'or et le centre de « l'Âge d'or du Brésil » au XVIIIe siècle. Avec l'épuisement des mines d'or 

au XIXe siècle, l'influence d'Ouro Preto a décliné, mais beaucoup d'églises, de ponts et de fontaines 

subsistent et témoignent de son ancienne prospérité et du talent exceptionnel du sculpteur baroque 

l'Aleijadinho.

2007- Rideau Canal (Criteria i - iv) 


The Rideau Canal, a monumental early 19th-century construction covering 202 km of the Rideau and 

Cataraqui rivers from Ottawa south to Kingston Harbour on Lake Ontario, was built primarily for 

strategic military purposes at a time when Great Britain and the United States vied for control of the 

region. The site, one of the first canals to be designed specifically for steam-powered vessels, also 

features an ensemble of fortifications. It is the best-preserved example of a slackwater canal in North 

America, demonstrating the use of this European technology on a large scale. It is the only canal dating 

from the great North American canal-building era of the early 19th century to remain operational along 

its original line with most of its structures intact. 

Outstanding Universal Value 

The Rideau Canal is a large strategic canal constructed for military purposes which played a crucial 

contributory role in allowing British forces to defend the colony of Canada against the United States of 

America, leading to the development of two distinct political and cultural entities in the north of the 

American continent, which can be seen as a significant stage in human history. 

Criterion (i): The Rideau Canal remains the best preserved example of a slackwater canal in North 

America demonstrating the use of European slackwater technology in North America on a large scale. 

21

It is the only canal dating from the great North American canal-building era of the early 19th century 

that remains operational along its original line with most of its original structures intact. 

Criterion (iv): The Rideau Canal is an extensive, well preserved and significant example of a canal 

which was used for a military purpose linked to a significant stage in human history - that of the fight to 

control the north of the American continent. 

The nominated property includes all the main elements of the original canal together with relevant later 

changes in the shape of watercourses, dams, bridges, fortifications, lock stations and related 

archaeological resources. The original plan of the canal, as well as the form of the channels, has 

remained intact. The Rideau Canal has fulfilled its original dynamic function as an operating waterway 

without interruption since its construction. Most of its lock gates and sluice valves are still operated by 

hand-powered winches. 

All the elements of the nominated area (canal, associated buildings and forts) are protected as national 

historic sites under the Historic Sites and Monuments Act 1952-3. A buffer zone has been established. 

Repairs and conservation of the locks, dams, canal walls and banks are carried out directly under the 

control of Parks Canada. Each year one third of the canal's assets are thoroughly inspected by 

engineers. A complete inventory thus exists of the state of conservation of all parts of the property. A 

Management Plan exists for the canal (completed in 1996 and updated in 2005), and plans are nearing 

completion for Fort Henry and the Kingston fortifications. The Canal Plan is underpinned by the Historic 

Canals Regulations which provide an enforcement mechanism for any activities that might impact on 

the cultural values of the monument. 


Ce canal monumental qui date du début du XIXe siècle s‟étend sur 202 km, le long des rivières Rideau 

et Cataraqui, depuis Ottawa au nord jusqu‟au port de Kingston sur le lac Ontario au sud. Il a été 

construit à des fins principalement militaires et stratégiques à une époque où la Grande-Bretagne et les 

États-Unis se disputaient le contrôle de la région. Ce canal, qui est l‟un des premiers à avoir été conçus 

spécialement pour les bateaux à vapeur, est associé à un ensemble de fortifications. Il s‟agit du canal à 

plans d‟eau le mieux préservé d‟Amérique du Nord et il illustre l‟utilisation à grande échelle de cette 

technologie européenne dans la région. C‟est le seul canal datant de la grande époque de la 

construction de canaux en Amérique du Nord au début du XIXe siècle qui soit encore opérationnel sur 

tout son tracé initial et qui conserve intactes la plupart de ses structures d‟origine. 


Le canal Rideau est un grand canal stratégique construit à des fins militaires qui a joué un rôle crucial 

dans la défense par les forces britanniques de la colonie du Canada contre les États-Unis d'Amérique, 

ce qui contribua au développement de deux entités politiques et culturelles distinctes dans le nord du 

continent américain ce qui peut être considéré comme une période significative de l'histoire humaine. 

Critère (i): Le canal Rideau reste l'exemple de canal en plans d'eau (slackwater canal) le mieux 

préservé d'Amérique du Nord, et il illustre l'utilisation à grande échelle de cette technologie européenne 

en Amérique du Nord. C'est le seul canal datant de la grande époque de construction de canaux en 

Amérique du Nord, au début du XIXe siècle, qui soit encore opérationnel sur son parcours initial et qui 

conserve intactes la plupart de ses structures d'origine. 

Critère (iv): Le canal Rideau est un exemple de grande envergure, bien préservé et significatif de 

canal utilisé à des fins militaires et illustrant une période significative de l'histoire humaine, celle de la 

lutte pour le contrôle du nord du continent américain. 

Le bien proposé pour inscription conserve tous les éléments principaux du canal d'origine, ainsi que 

des modifications pertinentes apportées ultérieurement au lit du cours d'eau, aux barrages, aux ponts, 

aux fortifications, aux postes d'éclusage et aux ressources archéologiques associées. Le plan original 

du canal ainsi que la forme des canaux sont restés intacts. Le canal Rideau répond à sa fonction 

dynamique d'origine, celle d'être un cours d'eau praticable et ce, sans interruption depuis sa 

construction. La plupart de ses portes d'écluse et de ses vannes d'arrêt sont toujours actionnées par 

des treuils manuels. 

22

Tous les éléments du bien proposé pour inscription (canal, bâtiments associés et forts) sont protégés 

en tant que sites historiques nationaux en vertu du Historic Sites and Monuments Act 1952-1953. Une 

zone tampon a été établie. Les réparations et la conservation des écluses, des barrages, des parois et 

des rives du canal sont directement réalisés sous le contrôle de l'Agence Parcs Canada. Chaque 

année, un tiers des installations du canal font l'objet d'une inspection exhaustive conduite par des 

ingénieurs. Il existe donc un inventaire complet de l'état de conservation de toutes les parties du site. 

Celui-ci indique que l'état de conservation de la plus grande partie du site est jugé de correct à bon. Un 

plan de gestion existe pour le canal (complété en 1996 et mis à jour en 2005), et des plans sont en 

cours de finalisation pour le fort Henry et les fortifications de Kingston. Le plan de gestion du canal est 

renforcé par le règlement sur les canaux historiques, qui offre un cadre d'application pour toutes les 

activités susceptibles d'avoir un impact sur les valeurs culturelles d'un monument.

Chile / Chili 

2005 - Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works / Usines de salpêtre de 

Humberstone et de Santa Laura (Criteria ii - iii - iv) 


Humberstone and Santa Laura works contain over 200 former saltpeter works where workers from 

Chile, Peru and Bolivia lived in company towns and forged a distinctive communal pampinos culture. 

That culture is manifest in their rich language, creativity, and solidarity, and, above all, in their 

pioneering struggle for social justice, which had a profound impact on social history. Situated in the 

remote desert Pampa, one of the driest deserts on earth, thousands of pampinos lived and worked in 

this hostile environment, for over 60 years, from 1880, to process the largest deposit of saltpeter in the 

world, producing the fertilizer sodium nitrate that was to transform agricultural lands in North and South 

America, and in Europe, and produce great wealth for Chile. Because of the vulnerability of the 

structures and because of the impact of a recent earthquake, the site was also placed on the List of 

World Heritage in Danger, to help mobilize resources for its conservation. 

Threats to the Site: 

The main issue to be highlighted is the extremely fragile nature of the buildings. As with most mining 

buildings, they were constructed using local materials and lightweight construction that functioned with 

regular maintenance and could be altered in response to changed circumstances. At Humberstone and 

Santa Laura the materials used were timber for frames, corrugated sheet for roofs and some walls, and 

stucco. There has been no maintenance for 40 years, and there has been damage and vandalism as 

well as some dismantling. The metal cladding has corroded and some of the structural elements 

24

dismantled. A few buildings, such as the Leaching house, are liable to structural collapse if no support 

is given. 

The greatest threat is from looters searching for re-usable materials. During the time when the works 

were closed and still in private hands much was lost. Looters look for all sorts of memorabilia on the 

sites such as timber, bottles, coins and tokens. Although looting has dwindled, the Douglas Fir is much 

prized and, as it is now nationally protected in the USA, prices for it have risen. Timber was stolen from 

the Santa Laura Leaching plant in 1999. 

Although the site is a virtually rain-free desert, windborne salt from the coast has an impact on the 

metal sheeting causing corrosion. Wind has also affected the wooden structures: those painted have 

been given a protective mineral coating by the salty wind whereas those unpainted have been eroded 

by the wind. 


Criterion (ii): The development of the saltpeter industry reflects the combined knowledge, skills, 

technology, and financial investment of a diverse community of people who were brought together from 

around South America, and from Europe. The saltpeter industry became a huge cultural exchange 

complex where ideas were quickly absorbed and exploited. The two works represent this process. 

Criterion (iii): The saltpeter mines and their associated company towns developed into an extensive 

and very distinct urban community with its own language, organisation, customs, and creative 

expressions, as well as displaying technical entrepreneurship. The two nominated works represent this 

distinctive culture. 

Criterion (iv): The saltpeter mines in the north of Chile together became the largest producers of 

natural saltpeter in the world, transforming the Pampa and indirectly the agricultural lands that benefited 

from the fertilisers the works produced. The two works represent this transformation process. 


Les usines de Humberstone et Santa Laura représentent plus de 200 anciens sites d‟extraction du 

salpêtre, où des ouvriers, venus du Chili, du Pérou et de Bolivie, vécurent dans des cités minières et 

forgèrent une culture pampina commune. Cette culture se manifeste dans la richesse de la langue, la 

créativité et les liens de solidarité, et surtout dans les luttes pionnières menées par les pampinos pour 

la justice sociale, luttes dont l‟impact fut profond sur l‟histoire sociale. Installés dans la Pampa 

désertique et reculée, l‟un des déserts les plus arides du globe, des milliers de pampinos ont vécu et 

travaillé, à partir de 1880 et pendant plus de soixante ans, dans un environnement hostile pour 

exploiter le plus grand gisement de salpêtre du monde et produire le nitrate de soude, un engrais qui 

allait transformer le paysage agricole de l‟Amérique du Nord et du Sud, ainsi que celui de l‟Europe, tout 

en procurant de grandes richesses au Chili. A cause de la vulnérabilité des structures et de l‟impact 

d‟un tremblement de terre récent, le site a également été inscrit sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial en 

péril, afin de faciliter la mobilisation de ressources en faveur de sa conservation. 

Menaces sur le bien : 

Le principal problème qu‟il convient de souligner est la nature extrêmement fragile des bâtiments. 

Comme pour la plupart des bâtiments miniers, ils ont été construits avec des matériaux locaux ; ce sont 

des constructions légères dont l‟un entretien était régulier et qui pouvaient être modifiées pour 

s‟adapter à tout changement de circonstances. À Humberstone et à Santa Laura, les matériaux de 

construction utilisés étaient le bois pour les structures, la tôle ondulée pour les toitures et quelques 

parois, et l‟enduit. Pendant 40 ans, il n‟y a eu aucun entretien et le vandalisme ainsi que des 

démantèlements ont causé des dommages. L‟habillage en métal s‟est corrodé et quelques éléments de 

structure ont été démontés. Quelques bâtiments, tels que celui de la lixiviation, risquent de s‟effondrer 

d‟un moment à l‟autre s‟ils ne sont pas consolidés. 

La plus grande menace provient des pilleurs qui recherchent des matériaux réutilisables. À l‟époque où 

les usines fermées étaient encore des propriétés privées, beaucoup de matériels ont été perdus. Les 

pilleurs recherchent toutes sortes de souvenirs sur les sites : du bois, des bouteilles, des pièces de 

monnaie, des bons d‟achat. Bien que les pillages soient devenus plus rares, le bois de sapin Douglas 

est très prisé et, cette essence d‟arbre étant désormais protégée aux États-Unis, les prix ont augmenté. 

Du bois du bâtiment de lixiviation a été pillé en 1999. 

Bien que le site soit un désert extrêmement aride où il ne pleut quasiment pas, les vents chargés de sel 

provenant de l‟océan entraînent la corrosion des tôles. Le vent affecte aussi les structures en bois : les 

25

ois peints sont recouvert d‟une couche minérale protectrice apportée par le vent, tandis que les bois 

non traités, eux, sont érodés par le vent. 


Critère (ii): Le développement de l‟industrie du salpêtre reflète l‟association des connaissances, des 

compétences, de la technologie et de l‟investissement financier de personnes venant d‟horizons 

différents, notamment d‟Amérique du Sud et d‟Europe, que les circonstances ont amené à vivre 

ensemble. L‟industrie du salpêtre devint un vaste lieu d‟échange culturel où les idées étaient 

rapidement absorbées et exploitées. Les deux usines représentent ce processus. 

Critère (iii): Les mines de salpêtre et les villes minières associées sont devenues des communautés 

urbaines très originales ayant leur propre langue, leur organisation, leurs coutumes ainsi que leurs 

expressions créatives, qui ont permis de diffuser un esprit d‟entreprise lié à une technique. Les deux 

usines de salpêtre proposées pour inscription représentent cette culture unique. 

Critère (iv): Les mines de salpêtre du nord du Chili sont devenues le premier producteur de salpêtre 

naturel au monde ; elles ont transformé la Pampa et, indirectement, les terres agricoles qui ont 

bénéficié des engrais produits par les usines. Les deux usines de salpêtre représentent ce processus 

de transformation.

2006 - Sewell Mining Town / Ville minière de Sewell (Criterion ii) 

26


Situated 85 km south of the capital, Santiago in an environment marked by extreme climate more than 

2,000 m up the Andes, Sewell Mining Town was built by the Braden Copper company in the early 20th 

century to house workers at what was the world‟s largest underground copper mine, El Teniente. It is 

an outstanding example of the company towns that were born in many remote parts of the world from 

the fusion of local labour and resources from an industrialized nation, to mine and process high-value 

natural resources. At its peak Sewell numbered 15,000 inhabitants, but was largely abandoned in the 

1970s. The town was built on a terrain too steep for wheeled vehicles around a large central staircase 

rising from the railway station. Along its route formal squares of irregular shape with ornamental trees 

and plants constituted the main public spaces or squares of the town. Off the central staircase, paths 

ran along the contours leading to smaller squares and secondary staircases linking the town‟s different 

levels. The buildings lining the streets are timber, often painted in vivid green, yellow, red and blue. 

Designed in the U.S.A., most of them were built on a 19th century American model, but the design of 

the Industrial School (1936), for example, is of modernist inspiration. Sewell is the only mountain 

industrial mining settlement of considerable size of the 20th century to have been built for year-round 

use. 


Située à 85 km au sud de la capitale, Santiago, dans un environnement marqué par un climat extrême 

à plus de 2 000 m d‟altitude dans les Andes, la ville minière de Sewell a été construite par la société 

Bradden Copper au début du XXe siècle pour héberger les mineurs travaillant dans ce qui était la plus 

grande mine souterraine de cuivre du monde, El Teniente. C‟est un exemple exceptionnel de ces villes 

qui ont été « implantées » dans de nombreuses parties reculées du monde pour exploiter une mine et 

transformer des ressources naturelles de grande valeur, en utilisant à la fois une main d‟œuvre locale 

et les moyens financiers et techniques d‟un pays industrialisé. A son apogée, Sewell a compté jusqu‟à 

15 000 habitants mais elle a été largement abandonnée dans les années 1970. Installée sur un terrain 

trop abrupt pour les véhicules à roues, la ville a été construite autour d‟un grand escalier central partant 

de la gare. Le long de la pente, des places de forme irrégulière, embellies par des arbres et des 

plantes, constituaient les principaux espaces publics de la ville. Partant de l‟escalier central, des allées 

couraient le long du relief vers ces places et des escaliers secondaires reliant les différents niveaux de 

la ville. Les immeubles construits le long des rues sont en bois, souvent peints dans des tons vifs de 

vert, jaune, rouge et bleu. Conçus aux Etats-Unis, la plupart d‟entre eux ont été construits sur un 

modèle américain du XIXe siècle, mais le plan de l‟Ecole industrielle (1936), par exemple, est 

d‟inspiration moderniste. Sewell est la seule installation minière industrielle de montagne de taille 

importante du XXe siècle à avoir été construite pour une utilisation permanente.

Cuba 

2000 - Archaeological Landscape of the First Coffee Plantations in the South- 

East of Cuba / Paysage archéologique des premières plantations de café du 

sud-est de Cuba (Criteria iii - iv) 


The remains of the 19th-century coffee plantations in the foothills of the Sierra Maestra are unique 

evidence of a pioneer form of agriculture in a difficult terrain. They throw considerable light on the 

economic, social, and technological history of the Caribbean and Latin American region. 


Criterion (iii): The remains of the 19th and early 20th century coffee plantations in eastern Cuba are 

unique and eloquent testimony to a form of agricultural exploitation of virgin forest, the traces of which 

have disappeared elsewhere in the world. 

Criterion (iv): The production of coffee in eastern Cuba during the 19th and early 20th centuries 

resulted in the creation of a unique cultural landscape, illustrating a significant stage in the development

Cathedral of Our Lady at Sedlec / Le centre historique de la ville avec l'église 

Sainte-Barbe et la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Sedlec (Criteria ii - iv) 


Kutná Hora developed as a result of the exploitation of the silver mines. In the 14th century it became a 

royal city endowed with monuments that symbolized its prosperity. The Church of St Barbara, a jewel of 

the late Gothic period, and the Cathedral of Our Lady at Sedlec, which was restored in line with the 

Baroque taste of the early 18th century, were to influence the architecture of central Europe. These 

masterpieces today form part of a well-preserved medieval urban fabric with some particularly fine 

private dwellings. 


Née de l'exploitation de mines d'argent, Kutná Hora devint, au XIVe siècle, une ville royale dotée de 

monuments symbolisant sa prospérité. L'église Sainte-Barbe, joyau du gothique finissant, et la 

cathédrale Notre-Dame de Sedlec, restaurée dans le goût baroque au début du XVIIIe siècle, 

influencèrent l'architecture d'Europe centrale. Ces chefs-d'œuvre s'insèrent aujourd'hui dans un tissu 

urbain médiéval préservé qui frappe par la richesse de ses demeures privées.

Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, the production of open-pan salt / De la grande 

saline de Salins-les-Bains à la saline royale d’Arc-et-Senans, la production du 

sel ignigène (Criteria i - ii - iv) 

32


The Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, near Besançon, was built by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux. Its 

construction, begun in 1775 during the reign of Louis XVI, was the first major achievement of industrial 

architecture, reflecting the ideal of progress of the Enlightenment. This vast, semicircular complex was 

designed to permit a rational and hierarchical organization of work and was to have been followed by 

the building of an ideal city, a project that was never realized. The Great Saltworks of Salins-les-Bains, 

where brine has been extracted since the Middle Ages if not earlier, features three buildings above 

ground: salt stores, the Amont well building and a former dwelling. It is linked to Claude-Nicolas 

Ledoux‟s Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans and bears testimony to the history of salt extraction in 

France. 


La saline royale d'Arc-et-Senans, à proximité de Besançon, est l'œuvre de Claude Nicolas Ledoux. Sa 

construction, qui débuta en 1775 sous le règne de Louis XVI, est la première grande réalisation 

d'architecture industrielle qui reflète l'idéal de progrès du siècle des Lumières. Ce vaste ouvrage fut 

conçu pour permettre une organisation rationnelle et hiérarchisée du travail. La construction initiale en 

demi-cercle devait être suivie de l'édification d'une cité idéale, qui demeura à l'état de projet. La Grande 

Saline de Salins-les-Bains qui a exploité depuis le Moyen Age, et vraisemblement avant, des 

saumures, comprend trois bâtiments : magasins à sel, bâtiment du puits d'Amont et un ancien 

logement. Elle est reliée à la saline d'Arc-et-Senans, construite par Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, et 

témoigne de l'histoire de la production de sel en France.

1985 - Pont du Gard (Roman aqueduct) / Pont du Gard (Criteria i - iii - iv) 


The Pont du Gard was built shortly before the Christian era to allow the aqueduct of Nîmes (which is 

almost 50 km long) to cross the Gard river. The Roman architects and hydraulic engineers who 

designed this bridge, which stands almost 50 m high and is on three levels – the longest measuring 275 

m – created a technical as well as an artistic masterpiece. 


Le pont du Gard a été construit peu avant l'ère chrétienne pour permettre à l'aqueduc de Nîmes, long 

de près de 50 km, de franchir le Gardon. En imaginant ce pont de 50 m de haut à trois niveaux, dont le 

plus long mesure 275 m, les ingénieurs hydrauliciens et architectes romains ont créé un chef-d'œuvre 

technique qui est aussi une œuvre d'art.

1996 - Canal du Midi (Criteria i - ii - iv - vi) 


This 360-km network of navigable waterways linking the Mediterranean and the Atlantic through 328 

structures (locks, aqueducts, bridges, tunnels, etc.) is one of the most remarkable feats of civil 

engineering in modern times. Built between 1667 and 1694, it paved the way for the Industrial 

36

Revolution. The care that its creator, Pierre-Paul Riquet, took in the design and the way it blends with 

its surroundings turned a technical achievement into a work of art. 


The Committee decided to inscribe the nominated property on the basis of cultural criteria (i), (ii), (iv) 

and (vi) considering that the site is of outstanding universal value being one of the greatest engineering 

achievements of the Modern Age, providing the model for the flowering of technology that led directly to 

the Industrial Revolution and the modern technological age. Additionally, it combines with its 

technological innovation a concern for high aesthetic architectural and landscape design that has few 

parallels. The Committee endorsed the inscription of this property as the Canal du Midi clearly is an 

exceptional example of a designed landscape 


Avec ses 360 km navigables assurant la liaison entre la Méditerranée et l'Atlantique et ses 328 

ouvrages ? écluses, aqueducs, ponts, tunnels, etc ? le réseau du canal du Midi, réalisé entre 1667 et 

1694, constitue l'une des réalisations de génie civil les plus extraordinaires de l'ère moderne, qui ouvrit 

la voie à la révolution industrielle. Le souci de l'esthétique architecturale et des paysages créés qui 

anima son concepteur, Pierre-Paul Riquet, en fit non seulement une prouesse technique, mais aussi 

une œuvre d'art. 


Le Comité a décidé d'inscrire le bien proposé sur la base des critères culturels (i), (ii), (iv) et (vi), 

considérant que le site est de valeur universelle exceptionnelle en tant qu'une des réalisations les plus 

extraordinaires du génie civil de l'ère moderne. Il est représentatif de l'éclosion technologique qui a 

ouvert la voie à la Révolution industrielle et à la technologie contemporaine. En outre, il associe à 

l'innovation technologique un grand souci esthétique sur le plan architectural et sur le plan des

1992 - Mines of Rammelsberg and Historic Town of Goslar / Mines de 

Rammelsberg et la ville historique de Goslar (Criteria i - iv) 


Situated near the Rammelsberg mines, Goslar held an important place in the Hanseatic League 

because of the rich Rammelsberg metallic ore deposits. From the 10th to the 12th century it was one of 

the seats of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. Its well-preserved medieval historic centre 

has some 1,500 half-timbered houses dating from the 15th to the 19th century. 


Située près des mines de Rammelsberg, la ville de Goslar a tenu une place importante dans la Ligue 

hanséatique en raison de la richesse des gisements de métaux de Rammelsberg. Du Xe au XIIe siècle, 

elle est devenue l'un des sièges du Saint Empire romain germanique. Son centre historique, datant du 

Moyen Âge, est parfaitement préservé et comprend environ 1 500 maisons à colombage datant du XVe 

au XIXe siècle.

2001- Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen / Complexe industriel de 

la mine de charbon de Zollverein à Essen 

(Criteria ii - iii) 


The Zollverein industrial complex in Land Nordrhein-Westfalen consists of the complete infrastructure 

of a historical coal-mining site, with some 20th-century buildings of outstanding architectural merit. It 

constitutes remarkable material evidence of the evolution and decline of an essential industry over the 

past 150 years. 


Criterion (ii): The Zollverein XII Coal Mine Industrial Complex is an exceptional industrial monument by 

virtue of the fact that its buildings are outstanding examples of the application of the design concepts of 

the Modern Movement in architecture in a wholly industrial context. 

Criterion (iii): The technological and other structures of Zollverein XII is representative of a crucial 

period in the development of traditional heavy industries in Europe, when sympathetic and positive use 

was made of architectural designs of outstanding quality. 


Le complexe industriel de Zollverein, dans le Land de Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie, comprend les 

installations complètes d'un site historique d'extraction de charbon et plusieurs édifices du XXe siècle 

d'une valeur architecturale inestimable. Il constitue une preuve matérielle exceptionnelle de l'essor et 

du déclin de cette industrie fondamentale lors des 150 dernières années. 


Critère (ii): Le complexe industriel de la mine de charbon de Zollverein XII est un monument industriel 

remarquable car ses bâtiments sont des exemples exceptionnels de la mise en application des 

concepts de design du mouvement moderne en architecture dans un contexte purement industriel. 

Critère (iii): Les structures technologiques et associées de Zollverein XII sont représentatives d‟une 

période cruciale dans le développement des industries lourdes traditionnelles en Europe où l‟on utilisait 

à bon escient et de manière harmonieuse des conceptions architecturales d‟une qualité exceptionnelle.

2011 – Fagus Factory in Alfeld / Usine Fagus à Alfeld (Criteria ii - iv) 


Fagus Factory in Alfeld is a 10-building complex - began around 1910 to the design of Walter Gropius, 

which is a landmark in the development of modern architecture and industrial design. Serving all stages 

of manufacture, storage and dispatch of lasts used by the shoe industry, the complex, which is still 

operational today, is situated in Alfeld an der Leine in Lower Saxony. With its groundbreaking vast 

expanses of glass panels and functionalist aesthetics, the complex foreshadowed the work of the 

Bauhaus school and is a landmark in the development of architecture in Europe and North America. 


Ce complexe de 10 bâtiments, conçu au début des années 1910 par Walter Gropius, témoigne du 

développement de l'architecture moderne et du design industriel. La succession des bâtiments est 

organisée pour accompagner le processus industriel, depuis les matériaux bruts jusqu'à la fabrication 

et le stockage des chaussures. Situé à Alfeld an der Leine, en Basse-Saxe, l'ensemble est encore en 

activité. Avec ses verrières révolutionnaires et son esthétique fonctionnaliste, l'usine annonce le 

mouvement moderniste et l'école du Bauhaus. Il s'agit d'un jalon important de l'histoire de l'architecture 

en Europe et en Amérique du Nord.

1999, 2005, 2008 - Mountain Railways of India / Chemins de fer de montagne en 

Inde (Criteria ii - iv) 


Still operational today, these hill passenger railways crossing regions of great beauty are outstanding 

examples of bold, ingenious engineering solutions for the problem of establishing an effective rail link 

through a rugged, mountainous terrain. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway opened in 1881, while the 

Nilgiri Mountain Railway, though proposed in 1854, was begun in 1891 and completed in 1908 due to 

the difficulty of the mountainous location which scales an elevation of 326m to 2,203m. It was highly 

significant in facilitating population movement and the social-economic development in the British 

colonial era. 

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is the first, and still the most outstanding, example of a hill 

passenger railway. Opened in 1881, it applied bold, ingenious engineering solutions to the problem of 

establishing an effective rail link across a mountainous terrain of great beauty. It is still fully operational 

and retains most of its original features. 


Criterion (ii): The mountain railways of India are outstanding examples of the interchange of values on 

developments in technology, and the impact of innovative transportation system on the social and 

economic development of a multicultural region, which was to serve as a model for similar 

developments in many parts of the world. 

Criterion (iv): The development of railways in the 19th century had a profound influence on social and 

economic developments in many parts of the world. The Mountain Railways of India are outstanding 

46

examples of a technological ensemble, representing different phases of the development in high 

mountain areas. 


Encore en service, ces chemins de fer de montagne destinés aux voyageurs traversent des régions 

d‟une grande beauté naturelle. Ils ont apporté d'audacieuses solutions d'ingénierie au problème de la 

construction d'une ligne de chemin de fer à travers une région montagneuse. Le Darjeeling Himalayan 

Railway était mis en service en 1881, tandis que la construction du Nilgiri Mountain Railway fut d‟abord 

proposée en 1854, mais étant données les difficultés que présentait ce site montagneux, qui part d‟une 

altitude de 326 mètres pour atteindre 2203 mètres, les travaux ne démarrèrent qu‟en 1891 et furent 

achevés en 1908. Il a joué un rôle crucial en facilitant les mouvements de populations et le 

développement socio-économique de la région durant la période coloniale britannique. 

Le Darjeeling Himalayan Railway est le premier et le plus extraordinaire exemple de chemin de fer de

fer à travers une région montagneuse. Cette ligne est encore en service et la plupart de ses 

caractéristiques d'origine sont intactes. 


Critère (ii): Les chemins de fer de montagne en Inde sont un exemple exceptionnel de l‟échange des 

valeurs sur le développement technologique et de l‟impact d‟un système de transport novateur sur le 

développement social et économique d‟une région pluriculturelle, qui devait servir de modèle à des

2004 - Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus) / Gare 

Chhatrapati Shivaji (anciennement gare Victoria) (Criteria ii - iv) 


The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus in Mumbai, is an outstanding 

example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in India, blended with themes deriving from Indian 

traditional architecture. The building, designed by the British architect F.W. Stevens, became the 

symbol of Bombay as the „Gothic City‟ and the major international mercantile port of India. The terminal 

was built over ten years starting in 1878 according to a High Victorian Gothic design based on late 

medieval Italian models. Its remarkable stone dome, turrets, pointed arches, and eccentric ground plan 

are close to traditional Indian palace architecture. It is an outstanding example of the meeting of two 

cultures as British architects worked with Indian craftsmen to include Indian architectural tradition and 

idioms forging a new style unique to Bombay. 


Criterion (ii): Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) exhibits an important 

interchange of influences from Victorian Italianate Gothic Revival architecture, and from Indian 

traditional buildings. It became a symbol for Mumbai as a major mercantile port city on the Indian 

Subcontinent within the British Commonwealth. 

Criterion (iv): Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is an outstanding example of late 19th century railway 

architecture in the British Commonwealth, characterized by Victorian Gothic Revival and traditional 

Indian features, as well as its advanced structural and technical solutions. 


La Gare Chhatrapati Shivaji, autrefois appelée Gare Victoria, à Mumbai, est un remarquable exemple 

d‟architecture néo-gothique victorienne en Inde, mêlé à des éléments issus de l‟architecture 

traditionnelle indienne. Le bâtiment, conçu par l‟architecte britannique F.W. Stevens, allait devenir le 

symbole de Bombay, la « ville gothique » et le plus important port marchand d‟Inde. Le terminal, dont la 

construction, commencée en 1878, dura dix ans, obéit à une conception du gothique victorien 

s‟inspirant des modèles de la fin du Moyen-Age en Italie. Certains éléments remarquables comme le 

dôme de pierre, les tourelles, les arcs brisés et le plan excentré rappellent l‟architecture des palais 

indiens traditionnels. C‟est un exemple exceptionnel de la rencontre de deux cultures, les architectes 

48

itanniques ayant fait appel à des artisans indiens pour intégrer la tradition architecturale indienne afin 

de créer un style nouveau, propre à Bombay. 


Critère (ii): La gare Chhatrapati Shivaji de Mumbai (anciennement Bombay) témoigne d'un échange 

d'influences considérable de l‟architecture de style néo-gothique victorien italianisant et de 

l‟architecture traditionnelle indienne. Elle est devenue le symbole de Mumbai en tant que principale ville 

portuaire de commerce du sous-continent indien dans le Commonwealth britannique. 

Critère (iv): La gare Chhatrapati Shivaji est un exemple éminent de l‟architecture ferroviaire de la fin du 

XIXe siècle dans le Commonwealth britannique, se distinguant par l‟association de caractéristiques du 

style néo-gothique victorien et du style traditionnel de l‟Inde ainsi que par des solutions structurelles et 

techniques avancées.

2010 - Jantar Mantar, Jaipur (Criteria iii - iv) 


The Jantar Mantar, in Jaipur, is an astronomical observation site built in the early 18th century. It 

includes a set of some 20 main fixed instruments. They are monumental examples in masonry of 

known instruments but which in many cases have specific characteristics of their own. Designed for the 

observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye, they embody several architectural and 

instrumental innovations. This is the most significant, most comprehensive, and the best preserved of 

India's historic observatories. It is an expression of the astronomical skills and cosmological concepts of 

the court of a scholarly prince at the end of the Mughal period. 

Outstanding universal values 

The Jantar Mantar, Jaipur, is an astronomical observation site built in the early 18th century. It includes 

a set of some twenty main fixed instruments. They are monumental examples in masonry of known 

instruments but which in many cases have specific characteristics of their own. The Jantar Mantar is an 

expression of the astronomical skills and cosmological concepts of the court of a scholarly prince at the 

end of the Mughal period. 

The Jantar Mantar observatory in Jaipur constitutes the most significant and best preserved set of fixed 

monumental instruments built in India in the first half of the 18th century; some of them are the largest 

ever built in their categories. Designed for the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye, 

they embody several architectural and instrumental innovations. The observatory forms part of a 

tradition of Ptolemaic positional astronomy which was shared by many civilizations. It contributed by 

this type of observation to the completion of the astronomical tables of Zij. It is a late and ultimate 

monumental culmination of this tradition. 

49

Through the impetus of its creator, the prince Jai Singh II, the observatory was a meeting point for 

different scientific cultures, and gave rise to widespread social practices linked to cosmology. It was 

also a symbol of royal authority, through its urban dimensions, its control of time, and its rational and 

astrological forecasting capacities. The observatory is the monumental embodiment of the coming 

together of needs which were at the same time political, scientific, and religious. 


Criterion (iii): The Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is an outstanding example of the coming together of 

observation of the universe, society and beliefs. It provides an outstanding testimony of the ultimate 

culmination of the scientific and technical conceptions of the great observatory devised in the Medieval 

world. It bears witness to very ancient cosmological, astronomical and scientific traditions shared by a 

major set of Western, Middle Eastern, Asian and African religions, over a period of more than fifteen 

centuries. 

Criterion (iv): The Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is an outstanding example of a very comprehensive set of 

astronomical instruments, in the heart of a royal capital at the end of the Mughal period in India. Several 

instruments are impressive in their dimensions, and some are the largest ever built in their category. 


Le Jantar Mantar de Jaipur est un site d'observation astronomique construit au début du XVIIIe siècle. 

Il comprend un ensemble d'une vingtaine d'instruments fixes. Edifiés en maçonnerie, ce sont des 

exemplaires monumentaux d'instruments connus mais souvent aux caractéristiques particulières. 

Destinés à des observations d'astronomie à l'œil nu, ils comportent plusieurs innovations 

architecturales et instrumentales. C'est l'ensemble le plus significatif, le plus complet et le mieux 

conservé des observatoires anciens de l'Inde. Il exprime les compétences astronomiques et les 

conceptions cosmologiques acquises dans l'entourage d'un prince savant à la fin de l'époque moghole.

L‟observatoire du Jantar Mantar de Jaipur est l‟ensemble le plus complet et le mieux conservé 

d‟instruments fixes monumentaux construits en Inde dans la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle ; certains 

sont parmi les plus grands jamais édifiés. Destinés à des observations d‟astronomie de positions à l‟œil 

nu, ils comportent plusieurs innovations architecturales et instrumentales. L‟observatoire s‟inscrit dans 

la tradition de l‟astronomie de position ptoléméenne, partagée par de nombreuses civilisations. Il 

contribue à un dernier perfectionnement des tables astronomiques de Jiz par ce type d‟observation. Il 

forme un achèvement monumental tardif et ultime de cette tradition. 

Sous l‟impulsion de son créateur, le prince Jai Singh II, l‟observatoire est un lieu de rencontre de 

différentes cultures scientifiques et un creuset de pratiques sociales populaires en lien avec la 

cosmologie. Il est également un symbole de l‟autorité royale, par ses dimensions urbaines, par le 

contrôle du temps, par ses capacités de prévision tant rationnelles qu‟astrologiques. L‟observatoire est 

une incarnation monumentale de la rencontre de besoins simultanément politiques, scientifiques et 

religieux. 

Justificatifion d’inscription 

Critère (iii) : Le Jantar Mantar de Jaipur est un exemple remarquable de rencontre entre observation 

de l‟univers, société et croyances. Il apporte un témoignage exceptionnel sur l‟aboutissement ultime 

des conceptions scientifiques et techniques du grand observatoire imaginé dans le monde médiéval. Il 

témoigne de traditions cosmologiques, astronomiques et scientifiques très anciennes partagées par un 

ensemble majeur de civilisations et de religions européennes, moyen-orientales, asiatiques et 

africaines, pendant plus de quinze siècles. 

50

Critère (iv) : Le Jantar Mantar de Jaipur est un exemple exceptionnel d‟un ensemble scientifique 

monumental très complet d‟instruments d‟astronomie, au cœur d‟une capitale royale à la fin de 

l‟époque moghole en Inde. Plusieurs instruments ont des dimensions imposantes, ce sont parfois les 

plus grands jamais édifiés dans leur catégorie.

2009 - Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System / Système hydraulique historique 

de Shushtar (Criteria i - ii - v) 


Shushtar, Historical Hydraulic System, inscribed as a masterpiece of creative genius, can be traced 

back to Darius the Great in the 5th century B.C. It involved the creation of two main diversion canals on 

the river Kârun one of which, Gargar canal, is still in use providing water to the city of Shushtar via a 

series of tunnels that supply water to mills. It forms a spectacular cliff from which water cascades into a 

downstream basin. It then enters the plain situated south of the city where it has enabled the planting of 

orchards and farming over an area of 40,000 ha. known as Mianâb (Paradise). The property has an 

ensemble of remarkable sites including the Salâsel Castel, the operation centre of the entire hydraulic 

system, the tower where the water level is measured, damns, bridges, basins and mills. It bears 

witness to the know-how of the Elamites and Mesopotamians as well as more recent Nabatean 

expertise and Roman building influence. 

Briève description 

Le système hydraulique historique de Shushtar a été inscrit en tant que chef d‟œuvre du génie créateur 

humain. Il aurait été entrepris dès Darius le Grand, au Vème siècle av. J.-C. Il s‟agit de deux grands 

canaux de dérivation des eaux de la rivière Kârun. L‟un d‟entre eux, le canal Gargar, fournit encore de 

l‟eau à la ville de Shustar par une série de tunnels et fait fonctionner tout un ensemble de moulins. 

Après une falaise spectaculaire, l‟eau tombe en cascades dans le bassin aval, avant d‟entrer dans la 

plaine au sud de la ville, où elle a permis le développement de vergers et de terres agricoles sur une 

surface de 40 000 ha. dénommée Mianaâb (Le paradis). Le bien comprend des lieux remarquables, 

dont le château Salâsel, centre de contrôle de tout le système hydraulique, la tour Kolâh-Farangi qui 

mesure le niveau de l‟eau, des barrages, ponts, bassins et moulins. Il témoigne du savoir-faire des 

51

Elamites et Mésopotamiens, ainsi que de l‟expertise plus récente des Nabatéens et de l‟influence du 

génie civil romain.

Rhaetian Railway in the Albula / Bernina Landscapes, brings together two historic railway lines that 

cross the Swiss Alps through two passes. Opened in 1904, the Albula line in the north western part of 

the property is 67 km long. It features an impressive set of structures including 42 tunnels and covered 

galleries and 144 viaducts and bridges. The 61 km Bernina pass line features 13 tunnels and galleries 

and 52 viaducts and bridges. The property is exemplary of the use of the railway to overcome the 

isolation of settlements in the Central Alps early in the 20th century, with a major and lasting socioeconomic 

impact on life in the mountains. It constitutes an outstanding technical, architectural and 

environmental ensemble and embodies architectural and civil engineering achievements, in harmony 

with the landscapes through which they pass. 


Le chemin de fer rhétique dans le paysage de l‟Albula et de la Bernina (Suisse/Italie) rassemble deux

impressionnant d‟ouvrages avec 42 tunnels et galeries couvertes et 144 viaducs et ponts. Les 61 km 

de la ligne de la Bernina totalisent 13 tunnels et galeries ainsi que 52 viaducs et ponts. Le bien montre 

une utilisation exemplaire du chemin de fer pour désenclaver les Alpes centrales au début du XXème 

siècle; ces deux lignes ferroviaires ont eu un impact socio-économique durable sur la vie en montagne. 

Les deux lignes présentent un ensemble technique, architectural et environnemental exceptionnel.

2007- Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape (Criteria ii - iii - v) 


The Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine in the south-west of Honshu Island is a cluster of mountains, rising to 

600 m and interspersed by deep river valleys featuring the archaeological remains of large-scale mines, 

smelting and refining sites and mining settlements worked between the 16th and 20th centuries. The 

site also features routes used to transport silver ore to the coast, and port towns from where it was 

shipped to Korea and China. The mines contributed substantially to the overall economic development 

of Japan and south-east Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries, prompting the mass production of silver 

and gold in Japan. The mining area is now heavily wooded. Included in the site are fortresses, shrines, 

parts of Kaidô transport routes to the coast, and three port towns, Tomogaura, Okidomari and Yunotsu, 

from where the ore was shipped. 

Outstanding Universal Value 

Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine pioneered the development of silver mines in pre-Modern Asia. It had 

contributed to exchange of values between East and West by achieving the large-scale production of 

high quality silver through the development of the Asian cupellation techniques transferred from China 

through Korea and the Japanese unique assemblage of numerous labor-intensive small businesses 

based upon manual techniques in the 16th century. The exceptional ensemble, consisting of mining 

archaeological sites, settlements, fortresses, transportation routes, and shipping ports represents 

distinctive land use related to silver mining activities. As the resource of silver ore was exhausted, its 

production came to an end, leaving behind, in the characteristically rich nature, a cultural landscape 

that had been developed in relation to the silver mine. 

Criterion (ii): During the Age of Discovery, in the 16th and early 17th centuries, the large production of 

silver by the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine resulted in significant commercial and cultural exchanges 

between Japan and the trading countries of East Asia and Europe. 

Criterion (iii): Technological developments in metal mining and production in Japan resulted in the 

evolution of a successful system based on small-scale, labor-intensive units covering the entire range 

of skills from digging to refining. The political and economic isolation of Japan during the Edo Period 

(1603 to 1868) impeded the introduction of technologies developed in Europe during the Industrial 

Revolution and this, coupled with the exhaustion of commercially viable silver-ore deposits, resulted in 

the cessation of mining activities by traditional technologies in the area in the second half of the 19th 

century, leaving the site with well-preserved archaeological traces of those activities. 

Criterion (v): The abundant traces of silver production, such as mines, smelting and refining sites, 

transportation routes, and port facilities, that have survived virtually intact in the Iwami Ginzan Silver 

Mine Site, are now concealed to a large extent by the mountain forests that have reclaimed the 

landscape. The resulting relict landscape, which includes the surviving settlements of the people 

related to the silver production, bears dramatic witness to historic land-uses of outstanding universal 

value. 

The elements of the property showing the original mining land-use system remain intact; the organic 

relationships among the individual elements exhibit the full expression of the mechanism of the original 

land-use system. They are a living part of the contemporary lives and livelihoods of the local society in 

unity with the abundant mountain forests and hence the integrity as a cultural landscape is maintained. 

The elements of the property that show the whole process ranging from silver production to shipment, 

54

in a good state of preservation and retain a high level of authenticity. In the mining settlements, there 

remains a group of traditional wooden buildings of 17th-20th century with careful maintenance, 

treatment, and repairs, retaining authenticity in terms of design, materials, techniques, functions, setting 

and environment. 

The property and its buffer zone are adequately protected under the domestic laws and a municipal 

ordinance. A comprehensive management system for the whole property has been implemented under 

the strategic preservation and management plan. Monitoring measures are carried out annually. 


Le site est un ensemble de montagnes riches en minerai d‟argent qui s‟élève à 600 m d‟altitude dans le 

sud-ouest de l‟île de Honshu et qui est entrecoupé de profondes vallées fluviales. On y trouve les 

vestiges archéologiques de vastes mines, de sites de fonte et de raffinage, ainsi que des peuplements 

miniers en usage du XVIe au XXe siècle. Des routes permettaient d‟acheminer le minerai d‟argent 

jusqu‟à la côte et aux ports d‟où il partait pour la Corée et la Chine. Les mines contribuèrent de façon 

substantielle au développement économique global du Japon et de l‟Asie du Sud-Est aux XVIe et XVIIe 

siècles. Elles donnèrent une impulsion à la production en masse d‟argent et d‟or au Japon. La région 

minière est aujourd‟hui très boisée. On y trouve des forteresses, des sanctuaires, des tronçons des 

routes de transport de Kaidô vers la côte, ainsi que trois villes portuaires Tomogaura, Okidomari et 

Yunotsu d‟où partait le minerai. Le site s‟étend sur 442 ha et la zone tampon sur 3 221 ha. 


La mine d'argent d'Iwami Ginzan a été la première à exploiter ce minerai dans l'Asie pré-moderne. Elle 

a contribué à l'échange des valeurs entre l'Orient et l'Occident en réalisant la production à grande 

échelle d'argent de haute qualité grâce à des techniques avancées de coupellation venues de Chine en 

passant par la Corée ; elle a utilisé l'association japonaise unique de nombreuses petites entreprises à 

forte intensité de travail fondées sur des techniques manuelles du XVIe siècle. L'ensemble 

exceptionnel, composé de vestiges archéologiques de l'extraction minière, de sites de peuplement, de 

forteresses, de routes de transport et de ports marchands représente une utilisation des terres 

caractéristique des activités d'extraction de l'argent. Une fois le gisement d'argent épuisé, la production 

a pris fin, laissant place dans ce cadre naturel d'une grande richesse, à un paysage culturel qui a 

évolué parallèlement à la mine d'argent. 

Critère (ii): A l'époque des Grandes Découvertes, au XVIe siècle et au début du XVIIe siècle, 

l'importante production d'argent de la mine d'Iwami Ginzan suscita d'importants échanges 

commerciaux et culturels entre le Japon et les pays marchands d'Extrême-Orient et d'Europe. 

Critère (iii): Les développements technologiques de l'extraction minière et de la production de métal 

au Japon ont donné naissance à un système prospère fondé sur de petites unités à forte main-d'œuvre 

couvrant tout l'éventail des compétences, du creusement au raffinage. L'isolement politique et 

économique du Japon pendant la période Edo (de 1603 à 1868) empêcha l'introduction de 

technologies mises au point en Europe pendant la Révolution industrielle. Ceci fut concomitant à 

l'épuisement des gisements de minerai d'argent commercialement viables, et entraîna la cessation des 

activités minières par les technologies traditionnelles dans la zone à la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, 

laissant sur le site des traces archéologiques bien préservées de ces activités. 

Critère (v): Les traces abondantes de production d'argent qui subsistent quasiment intactes sur la 

mine d'argent d'Iwami Ginzan, telles que les mines, les sites de fonte et de raffinage, les routes de 

transport et les infrastructures portuaires, sont désormais dans une grande mesure cachées par les 

forêts de montagne qui ont envahi le passage. Le paysage relique qui en résulte, avec ses vestiges de 

peuplement associés à la production de l'argent, est un exemple éminent d'occupation traditionnelle du 

territoire d'une valeur universelle exceptionnelle. 

Les éléments constitutifs du bien témoignant du système initial d'occupation du territoire sont restés 

intacts ; les relations organiques entre les différents éléments illustrent de manière détaillée le 

mécanisme du système initial d'occupation du territoire. Ils continuent à animer la vie contemporaine et 

le mode de vie de la société locale en union avec les forêts de montagne abondantes. L'intégrité de ce 

paysage culturel est donc maintenue. Les éléments constitutifs du bien qui illustrent le processus - de 

la production à l'acheminement de l'argent en bon état de conservation - conservent un haut degré 

55

d'authenticité. Dans les villages miniers, il reste un groupe de bâtiments traditionnels en bois des XVIIe 

et XXe siècle bien entretenus, conservés et réparés, qui garde son authenticité en termes de 

conception, matériaux, techniques, fonctions, cadre et environnement. 

Le bien et sa zone tampon sont bien protégés par la législation nationale et un arrêté municipal. Un 

dispositif de gestion de l'ensemble du bien a été mis en œuvre dans le cadre du plan de gestion et de 

conservation stratégique. Des mesures de suivi sont mises en place annuellement.

1988 - Historic Town of Guanajuato and Adjacent Mines / Ville historique de 

Guanajuato et mines adjacentes (Criteria i - ii - iv i - vi) 


Founded by the Spanish in the early 16th century, Guanajuato became the world's leading silverextraction 

centre in the 18th century. This past can be seen in its 'subterranean streets' and the 'Boca 

del Inferno', a mineshaft that plunges a breathtaking 600 m. The town's fine Baroque and neoclassical 

buildings, resulting from the prosperity of the mines, have influenced buildings throughout central 

Mexico. The churches of La Compañía and La Valenciana are considered to be among the most 

beautiful examples of Baroque architecture in Central and South America. Guanajuato was also 

witness to events which changed the history of the country. 


Fondée par les Espagnols au début du XVIe siècle, la ville est devenue le premier centre mondial 

d'extraction de l'argent au XVIIIe siècle. On retrouve ce passé dans ses « rues souterraines » et la « 

Boca del Infierno », puits de mine impressionnant qui plonge à 600 m sous terre. L'architecture et les 

éléments décoratifs des bâtiments baroques et néoclassiques de la ville, résultat de la prospérité des 

mines, ont eu une influence considérable sur l'industrie de la construction dans une grande partie du 

centre du Mexique. Ses églises, La Compañía et La Valenciana, sont considérées parmi les plus beaux 

exemples d'architecture baroque d'Amérique centrale et du Sud. Guanajuato fut aussi témoin 

d'événements déterminants pour l'histoire du pays.

Founded in 1546 after the discovery of a rich silver lode, Zacatecas reached the height of its prosperity 

in the 16th and 17th centuries. Built on the steep slopes of a narrow valley, the town has breathtaking 

views and there are many old buildings, both religious and civil. The cathedral, built between 1730 and 

1760, dominates the centre of the town. It is notable for its harmonious design and the Baroque 

profusion of its façades, where European and indigenous decorative elements are found side by side. 


Fondée en 1546 peu après la découverte d'un très riche filon d'argent, Zacatecas a dû à l'exploitation 

du métal précieux un essor économique qui a connu son apogée aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Construite 

sur des terrains très pentus dans une vallée étroite, son panorama est d'une beauté saisissante. Elle 

conserve de très nombreux bâtiments anciens, religieux et civils. Sa cathédrale (1730-1760), qui 

domine le cœur de la ville, est exceptionnelle par l'harmonie de sa conception et par la profusion 

baroque de ses façades où se côtoient des éléments décoratifs européens et indigènes.

2006 - Agave Landscape and Ancient Industrial Facilities of Tequila / Paysage 

d’agaves et anciennes installations industrielles de Tequila (Criteria ii - iv - v - vi) 


A 34,658 ha site, between the foothills of the Tequila Volcano and the deep valley of the Rio Grande 

River, is part of an expansive landscape of blue agave, shaped by the culture of the plant which has 

been used since the 16th century to produce tequila spirit and over at least 2,000 years to make 

fermented drinks and cloth. Within the landscape are working distilleries reflecting the growth in the 

international consumption of tequila in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, the agave culture is seen as 

part of national identity. The area encloses a living, working landscape of blue agave fields and the 

urban settlements of Tequila, Arenal, and Amatitan with large distilleries where the agave „pineapple' is 

fermented and distilled. The listed property includes fields, distilleries and factories (both active and 

not), tabernas (distilleries that were illegal under Spanish rule), towns and Teuchitlan archaeological 

sites. The property numbers numerous haciendas, or estates, some of which date back to the 18th 

century. The architecture of both factories and haciendas is characterized by brick and adobe 

construction, plastered walls with ochre lime-wash, stone arches, quoins and window dressings, and 

formal, neo-classical or baroque ornamentation. It reflects both the fusion of pre-Hispanic traditions of 

fermenting mescal juice with the European distillation processes and of local technologies and those 

imported from Europe and the U.S.A. The property also covers archaeological sites which bear 

testimony to the Teuchitlan culture which shaped the Tequila area from 200 to 900 A.D., notably 

through the creation of terraces for agriculture, housing, temples, ceremonial mounds and ball courts. 


Le site de 34 658 ha s‟étend du pied du volcan Tequila jusqu‟au canyon du Rio Grande. Il comprend de 

vastes paysages d‟agaves bleues, façonnés par la culture de cette plante qui est utilisée depuis le XVIe 

siècle pour produire la tequila et depuis au moins 2 000 ans pour fabriquer des boissons fermentées et 

59

des textiles. On trouve dans ce paysage des distilleries en activité qui reflètent l‟essor de la 

consommation internationale de tequila au XIX e et XX e siècles. Aujourd‟hui, la culture de l‟agave est 

considérée comme un élément intrinsèque de l‟identité nationale mexicaine. La zone englobe un 

paysage vivant et exploité de champs d‟agaves bleues et les peuplements urbains de Tequila, El 

Arenal et Amatitan, abritant de grandes distilleries où le cœur de l‟agave (l‟ananas) est fermenté et 

distillé. La zone inscrite inclut des champs d‟agaves, des distilleries et fabriques (en activité ou 

désaffectées), des tabernas (distilleries illégales), des villes, les sites archéologiques de Teuchitlan. La 

zone contient de nombreuses haciendas, ou propriétés foncières, dont certaines datent du XVIIIe 

siècle. L‟architecture des fabriques et des haciendas se caractérise par une construction en briques et 

en adobe, des murs recouverts d‟enduit et peints en ton ocre à la chaux, des arcades, des claveaux et 

des encadrements de fenêtre en pierre, des ornements néo-classiques ou baroques. La zone reflète 

d‟une part le mélange culturel des processus de fermentation pré-hispaniques et de la distillation 

européenne, d‟autre part des styles architecturaux autochtones et espagnols. La zone comprend 

également des sites archéologiques qui contiennent des témoignages de la culture Teuchitlan qui a 

façonné la zone de Tequila de 200 à 900 après JC, notamment à travers la création de terrasses pour 

l‟agriculture, d‟habitations, de temples, de tertres cérémoniels et de terrains de jeu de balle.

1997 - Mill Network at Kinderdijik-Elshout / Réseau des moulins de Kinderdijk- 

Elshout (Criteria i - ii - iv) 

60


The outstanding contribution made by the people of the Netherlands to the technology of handling 

water is admirably demonstrated by the installations in the Kinderdijk-Elshout area. Construction of 

hydraulic works for the drainage of land for agriculture and settlement began in the Middle Ages and 

have continued uninterruptedly to the present day. The site illustrates all the typical features associated 

with this technology – dykes, reservoirs, pumping stations, administrative buildings and a series of 

beautifully preserved windmills. 


The Committee decided to inscribe this site on the basis of criteria (i), (ii) and (iv) considering that the 

Kinderdijk-Elshout mill network is an outstanding man-made landscape that bears powerful testimony to 

human ingenuity and fortitude over nearly a millennium in draining and protecting an area by the 

development and application of hydraulic technology. 


La contribution du peuple des « pays bas » à la technique de drainage de l'eau est énorme, comme le 

prouvent admirablement les installations de la région de Kinderdijk-Elshout. Les travaux hydrauliques 

d'assèchement des terres pour l'agriculture et l'établissement des populations ont commencé au 

Moyen Âge et ont continué sans interruption jusqu'à nos jours. Le site comporte tous les éléments 

typiques de cette technologie : digues, réservoirs, stations de pompage, bâtiments administratifs, ainsi 

qu'un ensemble de moulins impeccablement préservés. 


Le Comité a décidé d'inscrire ce site sur la base des critères (i), (ii) et (iv). Le réseau des moulins de 

Kinderdijk-Elshout constitue un paysage exceptionnel créé par l'homme, qui témoigne avec force de 

l'ingéniosité et du courage humains pendant près d'un millénaire pour drainer et protéger une région en 

développant et en appliquant la technologie hydraulique.

1998- Ir.D.F. Woudagemaal (D.F. Wouda Steam Pumping Station) / Ir. D.F. 

Woudagemaal (station de pompage à la vapeur de D.F. Wouda) (Criteria i - ii - iv) 


The Wouda Pumping Station at Lemmer in the province of Friesland opened in 1920. It is the largest 

steam-pumping station ever built and is still in operation. It represents the high point of the contribution 

made by Netherlands engineers and architects in protecting their people and land against the natural 

forces of water. 


Criterion (i): The advent of steam as a source of energy provided the Dutch engineers with a powerful 

tool in their millennial task of water management, and the Wouda installation is the largest of its type 

ever built. 

Criterion (ii): The Wouda Pumping Station represents the apogee of Dutch hydraulic engineering, 

which has provided the models and set the standards for the whole world for centuries. 

Criterion (iv): The Wouda pumping installations bear exceptional witness to the power of steam in 

controlling the forces of nature, especially as applied to water handling by Dutch engineers. 


La station de pompage de Wouda à Lemmer, dans la province de Frise, a été ouverte en 1920. C'est la 

plus grande station de pompage à la vapeur jamais construite et toujours opérationnelle. Elle marque 

l'apogée de la contribution des architectes et ingénieurs néerlandais à la protection des populations et 

de leurs terres face aux forces naturelles de l'eau. 


Critère (i): La mise à disposition de la vapeur comme source d'énergie a fourni aux ingénieurs 

néerlandais un puissant outil dans leur travail millénaire de gestion de l'eau. Les installations de Wouda 

sont les plus grandes de ce type jamais construites. 

Critère (ii): la station de pompage de Wouda représente le point culminant du génie hydraulique 

néerlandais qui a fourni les modèles et fixé les normes applicables au monde entier pendant des 

siècles. 

Critère (iv): les installations de pompage de Wouda constituent un témoignage unique du pouvoir de la 

vapeur sur les forces naturelles, comme les ingénieurs néerlandais l‟ont parfaitement illustré dans le 

traitement de l‟eau.

2010 - Seventeenth-century canal ring area of Amsterdam inside the 

Singelgracht / Zone des canaux concentriques du 17e siècle à l'intérieur du 

Singelgracht à Amsterdam (Criteria i - ii - iv) 


The historic urban ensemble of the canal district of Amsterdam was a project for a new „port city‟ built at 

the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries. It comprises a network of canals to the west 

and south of the historic old town and the medieval port that encircled the old town and was 

accompanied by the repositioning inland of the city‟s fortified boundaries, the Singelgracht. This was a 

long-term programme that involved extending the city by draining the swampland, using a system of 

canals in concentric arcs and filling in the intermediate spaces. These spaces allowed the development 

of a homogeneous urban ensemble including gabled houses and numerous monuments. This urban 

extension was the largest and most homogeneous of its time. It was a model of large-scale town 

planning, and served as a reference throughout the world until the 19th century. 


The Amsterdam Canal District illustrates exemplary hydraulic and urban planning on a large scale 

through the entirely artificial creation of a large-scale port city. The gabled facades are characteristic of 

this middle-class environment, and the dwellings bear witness both to the city‟s enrichment through 

maritime trade and the development of a humanist and tolerant culture linked to the Calvinist 

Reformation. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Amsterdam was seen as the realization of the ideal city 

that was used as a reference urban model for numerous projects for new cities around the world. 


Criterion (i): The Amsterdam Canal District is the design at the end of the 16th century and the 

construction in the 17th century of a new and entirely artificial „port city.‟ It is a masterpiece of hydraulic 

engineering, town planning, and a rational programme of construction and bourgeois architecture. It is a 

unique and innovative, large-scale but homogeneous urban ensemble. 

Criterion (ii): The Amsterdam Canal District bears witness to an exchange of considerable influences 

over almost two centuries, in terms not only of civil engineering, town planning, and architecture, but 

also of a series of technical, maritime, and cultural fields. In the 17th century Amsterdam was a crucial 

centre for international commercial trade and intellectual exchange, for the formation and the 

dissemination of humanist thought; it was the capital of the world-economy in its day. 

Criterion (iv): The Amsterdam Canal District represents an outstanding example of a built urban 

ensemble that required and illustrates expertise in hydraulics, civil engineering, town planning, 

construction and architectural knowhow. In the 17th century, it established the model for the entirely 

artificial „port city‟ as well as the type of Dutch single dwelling with its variety of façades and gables. The 

city is testimony, at the highest level, to a significant period in the history of the modern world.

L'ensemble urbain historique du quartier des canaux à Amsterdam est le projet d'une nouvelle « villeport 

» construite à la fin du 16e siècle et au 17e siècle. Il s'agit d'un réseau de canaux à l'ouest et au 

sud du bourg historique et du bourg médiéval qui enserre la vieille cité et qui accompagna le 

déplacement des limites fortifiées de la ville vers l'intérieur des terres, le Singelgracht. Ce programme 

de longue durée consistait à étendre la ville en drainant les terres marécageuses par des canaux en 

arcs concentriques et à remblayer les espaces intermédiaires. Ces espaces ont permis 

l'épanouissement d'un ensemble urbain homogène constitué de maisons à pignons et de nombreux 

monuments. Cette extension urbaine a été la plus grande et la plus homogène de son temps. Ce site 

présente un exemple de planification urbaine de grande échelle qui servi de modèle de référence dans 

le monde entier jusqu'au 19e siècle. 


Le quartier des canaux d‟Amsterdam illustre une planification hydraulique et urbaine exemplaire et de 

grande échelle, par la création entièrement artificielle d‟une ville-port de grande échelle. Son habitat 

bourgeois est caractéristique, par ses façades à pignon, et il témoigne tant de l‟enrichissement de la 

ville par le commerce maritime que du développement d‟une culture humaniste et tolérante liée à la 

Réforme calviniste. Aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, Amsterdam apparaît comme la concrétisation de l‟idée 

de cité idéale, qui servit de modèle urbain et de référence pour de nombreux projets de villes nouvelles 

de par le monde. 

Justification d’inscription 

Critère (i): Le quartier des canaux d‟Amsterdam est la conception, à la fin du XVIe siècle, et la 

réalisation au cours du XVIIe siècle d‟une nouvelle ville portuaire, entièrement artificielle. Il s‟agit d‟un 

chef-d‟œuvre simultanément d‟ingénierie hydraulique, de planification urbaine, de programme rationnel 

de construction et d‟architecture bourgeoise. C‟est un ensemble urbain unique et novateur, de grande 

échelle mais homogène. 

Critère (ii): Le quartier des canaux d‟Amsterdam témoigne d‟un échange d‟influences considérable, 

durant près de deux siècles, non seulement pour le génie civil, l‟urbanisme et l‟architecture, mais aussi 

pour une série de domaines techniques, maritimes et culturels. Amsterdam est, au XVIIe siècle, un lieu 

crucial des échanges commerciaux et intellectuels internationaux, de la formation et de la diffusion de 

la pensée humaniste ; c‟est la capitale de l‟économie – monde de son temps. 

Critère (iv): Le quartier des canaux d‟Amsterdam représente un type éminent d‟ensemble urbain bâti, 

qui a nécessité et qui illustre des compétences en hydraulique, en génie civil, en planification urbaine, 

en savoir-faire constructif et architectural. Il établit, au XVIIe siècle, le modèle de la ville-port 

entièrement artificielle ainsi que le type de l‟habitation individuelle néerlandaise avec sa variété de 

façades et de pignons. La ville témoigne alors, au plus haut rang, d‟une période significative de 

l‟histoire du monde moderne.

1980 - Røros (Criteria iii - iv - v) 


The history of Røros, which stands in a mountainous setting, is linked to the copper mines: they were 

developed in the 17th century and exploited for 333 years until 1977. Completely rebuilt after its 

destruction by Swedish troops in 1679, the city has some 80 wooden houses, most of them standing 

around courtyards. Many retain their dark pitch-log facades, giving the town a medieval appearance. 


La ville est édifiée sur un site montagneux et son histoire est liée à l'exploitation des mines de cuivre 

découvertes au XVIIe siècle et exploitées pendant 333 ans, jusqu'en 1977. Entièrement reconstruite 

après sa destruction par les troupes suédoises en 1679, elle possède environ 80 maisons en bois dont 

la plupart sont groupées autour des cours. Nombre d'entre elles ont conservé leurs façades en bois 

noirci qui donnent à la ville un aspect médiéval.

1993 - Banska Stiavnica (Criteria iv - v) 


Over the centuries, the town of Banska Stiavnica was visited by many outstanding engineers and 

scientists, many of whom contributed to its fame. The old medieval mining centre grew into a town with 

Renaissance palaces, 16th-century churches, elegant squares and castles. The urban centre blends 

into the surrounding landscape, which contains vital relics of the mining and metallurgical activities of 

the past. 


Au cours des siècles, la ville a reçu la visite de nombreux ingénieurs et scientifiques qui ont contribué à 

sa renommée. L'ancien centre minier médiéval s'est transformé en ville dotée de palais Renaissance, 

d'églises du XVIe siècle, de places élégantes et de châteaux. Le centre urbain se fond dans le paysage 

environnant qui comporte des vestiges très importants des activités minières et métallurgiques du 

passé.

1997 - Las Médulas (Criteria: i - ii - iii - iv) 


In the 1st century A.D. the Roman Imperial authorities began to exploit the gold deposits of this region 

in north-west Spain, using a technique based on hydraulic power. After two centuries of working the 

deposits, the Romans withdrew, leaving a devastated landscape. Since there was no subsequent 

industrial activity, the dramatic traces of this remarkable ancient technology are visible everywhere as 

sheer faces in the mountainsides and the vast areas of tailings, now used for agriculture. 


The Committee decided to inscribe this property on the basis of criteria (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), considering 

that the Las Médulas gold-mining area is an outstanding example of innovative Roman technology, in 

which all the elements of the ancient landscape, both industrial and domestic, have survived to an 

exceptional degree. 


Au Ier siècle, les autorités de l'Empire romain ont commencé à exploiter les gisements aurifères de 

cette région du nord-ouest de l'Espagne en utilisant une technique basée sur la puissance hydraulique. 

Après deux siècles d'exploitation des dépôts résiduels, les Romains se sont retirés, laissant derrière 

eux un paysage dévasté. Étant donné l'absence d'activités industrielles ultérieures dans cette région, 

les traces spectaculaires de cette remarquable technique ancienne sont partout visibles, sous forme de 

pentes montagneuses dénudées et de vastes zones de résidus miniers qui servent maintenant à 

l'agriculture. 


Le Comité a décidé d'inscrire ce bien sur la base des critères (i), (ii), (iii) et (iv) considérant que la zone 

d'exploitation aurifère de las Médulas est un exemple exceptionnel d'une technique novatrice romaine, 

dans laquelle tous les éléments composant l'ancien paysage, à la fois industriels et domestiques ont 

survécu de façon exceptionnelle.

2006 - Vizcaya Bridge / Pont Vizcaya (Criteria i - ii) 


Vizcaya Bridge straddles the mouth of the Ibaizabal estuary west of Bilbao. It was designed by the 

Basque architect, Alberto de Palacio and completed in 1893. The 45-metre-high bridge with its span of 

160 m, merges 19th-century iron–working traditions with the then new lightweight technology of twisted 

steel ropes. It was the first bridge in the world to carry people and traffic on a high suspended gondola 

and was used as a model for many similar bridges in Europe, Africa and the Americas but only a few of 

which survive. With its innovative use of lightweight, twisted steel cables, it is regarded as one of the 

outstanding architectural iron constructions of the Industrial Revolution. 


Ce pont transbordeur monumental enjambe l‟embouchure de l‟estuaire de l‟Ibaizabal à l‟ouest de 

Bilbao. Conçu par l‟architecte basque Alberto de Palacio, il a été terminé en 1893. Haut de 45m et 

d‟une portée de 160 mètres, il associe la tradition des constructions métalliques du XIXe siècle et la 

nouvelle technologie des câbles d‟acier légers à torsion alternative. Il a été le premier pont au monde à 

nacelle de transbordement suspendue au-dessus du mouvement des navires, pour le transport des 

passagers et des véhicules et a servi de modèle à de nombreux autres ponts similaires en Europe, en 

Afrique et aux Amériques, dont seuls quelques exemplaires sont parvenus jusqu‟à nous. De par son 

utilisation novatrice des câbles d‟acier légers à torsion alternative, il est considéré comme une des 

remarquables constructions d‟architecture métallique issues de la Révolution industrielle.

2001 - Mining Area of the Great Copper Mountain in Falun / Zone d'exploitation 

minière de la grande montagne de cuivre de Falun 

(Criteria ii - iii - v) 


The enormous mining excavation known as the Great Pit at Falun is the most striking feature of a 

landscape that illustrates the activity of copper production in this region since at least the 13th century. 

The 17th-century planned town of Falun with its many fine historic buildings, together with the industrial 

and domestic remains of a number of settlements spread over a wide area of the Dalarna region, 

provide a vivid picture of what was for centuries one of the world's most important mining areas. 


Criterion (ii): Copper mining at Falun was influenced by German technology, but this was to become 

the major producer of copper in the 17th century and exercised a profound influence on mining 

technology in all parts of the world for two centuries. 

Criterion (iii): The entire Falun landscape is dominated by the remains of copper mining and 

production, which began as early as the 9th century and came to an end in the closing years of the 20th 

century. 

Criterion (v): The successive stages in the economic and social evolution of the copper industry in the 

Falun region, from a form of “cottage industry” to full industrial production, can be seen in the abundant 

industrial, urban, and domestic remains characteristic of this industry that still survive. 


L'immense excavation minière connue sous le nom de Grande Fosse constitue, à Falun, le trait le plus 

marquant d'un paysage qui illustre la production de cuivre dans cette région depuis le XIIIe siècle au 

moins. Aussi bien la ville planifiée de Falun, née au XVIIe siècle et dotée de plusieurs magnifiques 

bâtiments historiques, que les vestiges industriels et domestiques des peuplements disséminés sur une 

82

grande partie de la Dalécarlie offrent une image vivante de ce que fut, pendant des siècles, l'une des 

plus importantes régions minières du monde. 


Critère (ii): L‟extraction minière de cuivre à Falun a été influencée par la technologie allemande, mais 

le site, qui devait devenir le premier producteur de cuivre au XVIIe siècle, exerça une influence 

profonde sur la technologie minière aux quatre coins du monde, et ce pendant deux siècles. 

Critère (iii): L‟ensemble du paysage de Falun est dominé par les vestiges de l‟extraction et de la 

production de cuivre, qui commencèrent dès le IXe siècle et prirent fin dans les dernières années du 

XXe siècle. 

Critère (v): Les étapes successives de l‟évolution économique et sociale de l‟industrie du cuivre dans 

la région de Falun, de l‟industrie « artisanale » jusqu‟à la production industrielle dans toute l‟acception 

du terme, se manifestent dans les abondants vestiges industriels, urbains et domestiques qui 

caractérisent cette activité et subsistent à ce jour.

2004 - Varberg Radio Station / Station radio Varberg (Criteria ii - iv) 


The Varberg Radio Station at Grimeton in southern Sweden (built in 1922-24) is an exceptionally well 

preserved monument to early wireless transatlantic communication. It consists of the transmitter 

equipment, including the aerial system of six 127-m high steel towers. Though no longer in regular use, 

the equipment has been maintained in operating condition. The 109.9-ha site comprises buildings 

housing the original Alexanderson transmitter, including the towers with their antennae, short-wave 

transmitters with their antennae, and a residential area with staff housing. The architect Carl Åkerblad 

designed the main buildings in the neoclassical style and the structural engineer Henrik Kreüger was 

responsible for the antenna towers, the tallest built structures in Sweden at that time. The site is an 

83

outstanding example of the development of telecommunications and is the only surviving example of a 

major transmitting station based on pre-electronic technology. 


Criterion (ii): The Varberg radio station at Grimeton is an outstanding monument representing the 

process of development of communication technology in the period following the First World War. 

Criterion (iv): The Varberg radio station is an exceptionally well preserved example of a type of 

telecommunication centre, representing the technological achievements by the early 1920s, as well as 

documenting the further development over some three decades. 


La station radio Varberg, à Grimeton dans le sud-ouest de la Suède (construite en 1922-24), 

exceptionnellement bien conservée, est un monument des débuts de la communication transatlantique 

sans fil. Le site comporte le matériel de transmission, y compris le système d‟antennes avec ses 6 

pylones de 127 m. de haut. Bien qu‟ils ne soient plus utilisés régulièrement, les équipements ont été 

conservés en état de marche. Sur 109,9 ha, on trouve les bâtiments qui abritent l‟émetteur 

Alexanderson original, dont les pylônes portant les antennes, des transmetteurs d‟ondes courtes avec 

leurs antennes, ainsi qu‟une zone résidentielle comportant les logements de fonction du personnel. 

L‟architecte Carl Åkerblad a dessiné le bâtiment principal en style néoclassique, et les pylônes, les plus 

hauts construits en Suède à l‟époque, sont l‟œuvre de l‟ingénieur Henrik Kreüger. Le site offre une 

illustration exceptionnelle du développement des communications ; c‟est la seule survivante des 

grandes stations de transmission radio basées sur les techniques antérieures à l‟ère de l‟électronique. 


Critère (ii): La station radio Varberg de Grimeton est un monument exceptionnel qui témoigne du 

processus de développement de la technologie des communications dans la période qui suit la 

Première Guerre mondiale. 

Critère (iv): La station radio Varberg est un exemple exceptionnellement bien préservé d‟un type de 

centre de télécommunications qui représente les réalisations technologiques du début des années 

1920, et qui apporte des éléments d‟information sur l‟évolution des télécommunications sur quelque 

trois décennies.

2009 - La Chaux-de-Fonds / Le Locle, watchmaking town planning // La Chauxde-Fonds 

/ Le Locle, urbanisme horloger (Criterion iv) 

84


The watchmaking urban ensemble of La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle demonstrates outstanding 

universal value as these twin manufacturing-towns constitute an exceptional example of organic urban 

ensembles entirely dedicated to a single industry. They have been constructed by and for 

watchmaking. They are the product of an extremely close symbiosis between socio-technical needs 

and responses provided by town planning choices. Watchmaking has given rise to a remarkable 

architectural typology in the built structure. Housing designed for home working is situated alongside 

owners‟ houses, workshops, and more recent factories, in a homogeneous and rational urban fabric 

that is open to the outside. The two towns bear witness to the exceptional uninterrupted continuation of 

a living and world-renowned watchmaking tradition, which has succeeded in coping with the sociotechnical 

and economic crises of the contemporary world. 

Justification 

Criterion (iv): La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle constitute a unique urban and architectural ensemble, 

wholly dedicated to watchmaking from the 18th century until the present day. Watchmaking space and 

living space co-exist in an extremely close relationship. The rational, pragmatic, and open planning of 

the urban space has encouraged the sustainable development of this mono-industry, as a 

„manufacturing- town.‟ 


L‟ensemble urbain horloger de La Chaux-de-Fonds et du Locle a une valeur universelle exceptionnelle 

étant donné que ces deux « villes-manufactures » jumelles apportent un exemple exceptionnel 

d‟ensembles urbains organiques entièrement dédiés à une mono-industrie. Elles ont été construites par 

et pour l‟horlogerie. Elles sont le produit d‟une symbiose intime entre les besoins sociotechniques et les 

réponses apportées par les choix de l‟urbanisme. L‟horlogerie a façonné une typologie architecturale 

remarquable du bâti. Les immeubles d‟habitation conçus pour le travail à domicile voisinent avec les 

maisons patronales, les ateliers et les usines plus récentes, au sein d‟un tissu urbain homogène, 

rationnel et ouvert sur l‟extérieur. Les deux villes témoignent de la poursuite ininterrompue 

exceptionnelle d‟une tradition horlogère vivante et mondialement réputée, ayant su faire face aux crises 

sociotechniques et économiques du monde contemporain. 

Justification 

Critère (iv): La Chaux-de-Fonds et le Locle forment un exemple exceptionnel d‟ensemble urbain et 

architectural, entièrement dédié à la production horlogère depuis le XVIIIe siècle jusqu‟à aujourd‟hui. 

Les lieux de fabrication horlogère et les lieux de vie cohabitent intimement. La planification raisonnée, 

pragmatique et ouverte de l‟espace urbain a favorisé le développement durable de sa mono-industrie, à 

l‟instar d‟une « ville-manufacture ».

1986 - Ironbridge Gorge / Gorge d'Ironbridge (Criteria i - ii - iv - vi) 


Ironbridge is known throughout the world as the symbol of the Industrial Revolution. It contains all the 

elements of progress that contributed to the rapid development of this industrial region in the 18th 

century, from the mines themselves to the railway lines. Nearby, the blast furnace of Coalbrookdale, 

built in 1708, is a reminder of the discovery of coke. The bridge at Ironbridge, the world's first bridge 

constructed of iron, had a considerable influence on developments in the fields of technology and 

architecture. 

Justification 

Criterion (i): The Coalbrookdale blast furnace perpetuates in situ the creative effort of Abraham Darby 

I who discovered coke iron in 1709. It is a masterpiece of man's creative genius in the same way as the 

Iron Bridge, which is the first known metal bridge. It was built in 1779 by Abraham Darby III from the 

drawings of the architect Thomas Farnolls Pritchard. 

Criterion (ii): The Coalbrookdale blast furnace and the Iron Bridge exerted great influence on the 

development of techniques and architecture. 

Criterion (iv): Ironbridge Gorge provides a fascinating summary of the development of an industrial 

region in modern times. Mining centres, transformation industries, manufacturing plants, workers' 

quarters, and transport networks are sufficiently well preserved to make up a coherent ensemble whose 

educational potential is considerable. 

Criterion (vi): Ironbridge Gorge, which opens its doors to in excess of 600,000 visitors yearly, is a 

world renowned symbol of the 18th century Industrial Revolution. 


À Ironbridge, localité minière devenue le symbole de la révolution industrielle, se trouvent tous les 

éléments de l'essor de cette région industrielle au XVIIIe siècle, depuis le centre d'extraction jusqu'au 

chemin de fer. À proximité, le haut-fourneau de Coalbrookdale, créé en 1708, rappelle la découverte de 

la fonte au coke. Quant au pont d'Ironbridge, premier pont métallique du monde, il eut une influence 

considérable sur l'évolution de la technologie et de l'architecture. 

Justification 

Critère (i): Le haut-fourneau de Coalbrookdale perpétue in situ la démarche créatrice d‟Abraham 

Darby I découvrant en 1709 la fonte au coke. C‟est un chef-d‟oeuvre de l‟esprit créateur de l‟homme au 

même titre que le pont d‟Ironbridge, premier en date des ponts métalliques exécuté en 1779 par 

Abraham Darby III sur les dessins de l‟architecte Thomas Farnolls Pritchard. 

86

Critère (ii): Le haut-fourneau de Coalbrookdale et le pont d‟Ironbridge ont exercé une influence 

considérable sur l‟évolution des techniques et de l‟architecture. 

Critère (iv): La gorge d‟Ironbridge offre un résumé saisissant de l‟évolution d‟une région industrielle à 

l‟époque contemporaine. Centres d‟extraction, industries de transformation, manufactures, quartiers 

ouvriers, réseaux de voies de communication sont suffisamment bien conservés pour constituer un 

ensemble cohérent dont le potentiel pédagogique est considérable. 

Critère (vi): La gorge d‟Ironbridge, qui accueille 300 000 visiteurs par an, est un symbole 

mondialement connu de la Révolution industrielle du XVIIIe siècle.

2000 - Blaenavon Idustrial Landscape / Paysage industriel de Blaenavon 

(Criteria iii - iv) 


The area around Blaenavon is evidence of the pre-eminence of South Wales as the world's major 

producer of iron and coal in the 19th century. All the necessary elements can still be seen - coal and 

ore mines, quarries, a primitive railway system, furnaces, workers' homes, and the social infrastructure 

of their community. 


Criterion (iii): The Blaenavon landscape constitutes an exceptional illustration in material form of the 

social and economic structure of 19th century industry. 

Criterion (iv): The components of the Blaenavon industrial landscape together make up an outstanding 

and remarkably complete example of a 19th century industrial landscape. 


La zone qui environne Blaenavon témoigne de façon éloquente du rôle prépondérant du Sud du Pays 

de Galles dans la production mondiale de fer et de charbon au XIXe siècle. Tous les éléments liés à 

cette production peuvent être vus in situ : mines de houille et de fer, carrières, système primitif de 

chemin de fer, fourneaux, logements des ouvriers, infrastructure sociale de leur communauté. 


Critère (iii): Le paysage de Blaenavon constitue une illustration exceptionnelle, sous une forme 

physique, de la structure sociale et économique de l‟industrie du XIXe siècle. 

Critère (iv): Les composants du paysage industriel de Blaenavon, pris dans leur ensemble, 

représentent un exemple exceptionnel et remarquablement complet d‟un paysage industriel du XIXe 

siècle.

2001- New Lanark (Criteri ii - iv - vi) 


New Lanark is a small 18th- century village set in a sublime Scottish landscape where the philanthropist 

and Utopian idealist Robert Owen moulded a model industrial community in the early 19th century. The 

imposing cotton mill buildings, the spacious and well-designed workers' housing, and the dignified 

educational institute and school still testify to Owen's humanism. 


Criterion (ii): When Richard Arkwright‟s new factory system for textile production was brought to New 

Lanark the need to provide housing and other facilities to the workers and managers was recognized. It 

was there that Robert Owen created a model for industrial communities that was to spread across the 

world in the 19th and 20th centuries. 

Criterion (iv): New Lanark saw the construction not only of well designed and equipped workers‟ 

housing but also public buildings designed to improve their spiritual as well as their physical needs. 

Criterion (vi): The name of New Lanark is synonymous with that of Robert Owen and his social 

philosophy in matters such as progressive education, factory reform, humane working practices, 

international cooperation, and garden cities, which was to have a profound influence on social 

developments throughout the 19th century and beyond. 


Le petit village de New Lanark est situé dans un magnifique paysage écossais où le philanthrope et 

utopiste Robert Owen établit une société industrielle modèle au début du XIXe siècle. Les imposantes 

90

manufactures, les logements ouvriers spacieux et bien conçus, le digne institut d'éducation et l'école 

attestent encore aujourd'hui de l'humanisme d'Owen. 


Critère (ii): Quand le nouveau système manufacturier de production de textile de Richard Arkwright fut 

implanté à New Lanark, la nécessité de fournir des logements et des installations aux ouvriers et aux 

responsables apparut clairement. C‟est là que Robert Owen créa un modèle de communauté 

industrielle qui devait se répandre dans le monde aux XIXe et XXe siècles. 

Critère (iv): New Lanark vit non seulement la construction de logements ouvriers bien conçus et bien 

équipés, mais aussi celle d‟édifices publics destinés à améliorer leur bien-être spirituel et physique. 

Critère (vi): Le nom de New Lanark est associé à celui de Robert Owen et à sa philosophie sociale 

dans des domaines comme l‟éducation moderne, la réforme manufacturière, les conditions de travail 

humaines, la coopération internationale et les cités jardins, qui devait avoir une profonde influence sur 

les développements sociaux tout au long du XIXe siècle et ensuite.

2001 - Saltaire (Criteria ii - iv) 


Saltaire, West Yorkshire, is a complete and well-preserved industrial village of the second half of the 

19th century. Its textile mills, public buildings and workers' housing are built in a harmonious style of 

high architectural standards and the urban plan survives intact, giving a vivid impression of Victorian 

philanthropic paternalism. 


Criterion (ii): Saltaire is an outstanding and well preserved example of a mid 19th century industrial 

town, the layout of which was to exert a major influence on the development of the “garden city” 

movement. 

Criterion (iv): The layout and architecture of Saltaire admirably reflect mid 19th century philanthropic 

paternalism, as well as the important role played by the textile industry in economic and social 

development. 


Saltaire est un village industriel entier et bien préservé datant de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Ses 

fabriques de textiles, ses édifices publics et ses logements ouvriers sont bâtis dans un style 

harmonieux, d'une grande qualité architecturale, et le plan urbain d'ensemble reste intact, offrant une 

image vivante du paternalisme philanthropique de l'époque victorienne. 


Critère (ii): La vallée de la Derwent a vu la naissance du système manufacturier, lorsque de nouveaux 

types d‟édifice ont été érigés pour abriter la nouvelle technologie de filature du coton mise au point par 

Richard Arkwright au début du XIXe siècle. 

Critère (iv): C‟est dans la vallée de la Derwent qu‟est apparue pour la première fois une production 

industrielle à grande échelle dans un paysage jusque-là rural. La nécessité de fournir des logements et 

des installations aux ouvriers et aux responsables entraîna l‟apparition des premières villes industrielles 

modernes.

2001 - Derwent Valley Mills / Usines de la vallée de la Derwent (Criteria ii - iv) 


The Derwent Valley in central England contains a series of 18th- and 19th- century cotton mills and an 

industrial landscape of high historical and technological interest. The modern factory owes its origins to 

the mills at Cromford, where Richard Arkwright's inventions were first put into industrial-scale 

production. The workers' housing associated with this and the other mills remains intact and illustrate 

the socio-economic development of the area. 


Criterion (ii): The Derwent Valley saw the birth of the factory system, when new types of building were 

erected to house the new technology for spinning cotton developed by Richard Arkwright in the early 

19th century. 

Criterion (iv): In the Derwent Valley for the first time there was large-scale industrial production in a 

hitherto rural landscape. The need to provide housing and other facilities for workers and managers 

resulted in the creation of the first modern industrial towns. 


La vallée de la Derwent, dans le centre de l'Angleterre, abrite plusieurs filatures de coton du XVIII e et 

du XIX e siècles, ainsi qu'un paysage d'un grand intérêt historique et technologique. L'usine moderne 

trouve ses origines dans les filatures de Cromford, où les inventions de Richard Arkwright furent pour la 

première fois mises en pratique dans le cadre d'une production à l'échelle industrielle. Les logements 

ouvriers associés à ces fabriques sont toujours intacts et témoignent du développement socioéconomique 

de la région. 


Critère (ii): La vallée de la Derwent a vu la naissance du système manufacturier, lorsque de nouveaux 

types d‟édifice ont été érigés pour abriter la nouvelle technologie de filature du coton mise au point par 

Richard Arkwright au début du XIXe siècle. 

Critère (iv): C‟est dans la vallée de la Derwent qu‟est apparue pour la première fois une production 

industrielle à grande échelle dans un paysage jusque-là rural. La nécessité de fournir des logements et 

des installations aux ouvriers et aux responsables entraîna l‟apparition des premières villes industrielles 

modernes.

Six areas in the historic centre and docklands of the maritime mercantile City of Liverpool bear witness 

to the development of one of the world‟s major trading centres in the 18th and 19th centuries. Liverpool 

played an important role in the growth of the British Empire and became the major port for the mass 

movement of people, e.g. slaves and emigrants from northern Europe to America. Liverpool was a 

pioneer in the development of modern dock technology, transport systems, and port management. The 

listed sites feature a great number of significant commercial, civic and public buildings, including St 

George‟s Plateau. 


Criterion (ii): Liverpool was a major centre generating innovative technologies and methods in dock 

construction and port management in the 18th and 19th centuries. It thus contributed to the building up 

of the international mercantile systems throughout the British Commonwealth. 

Criterion (iii): the city and the port of Liverpool are an exceptional testimony to the development of 

maritime mercantile culture in the 18th and 19th centuries, contributing to the building up of the British 

Empire. It was a centre for the slave trade, until its abolition in 1807, and to emigration from northern 

Europe to America. 

Criterion (iv): Liverpool is an outstanding example of a world mercantile port city, which represents the 

early development of global trading and cultural connections throughout the British Empire.

2006 - Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape / Paysage minier des 

Cornouailles et de l’ouest du Devon (Criteria ii - iii - iv) 


Much of the landscape of Cornwall and West Devon was transformed in the 18th and early 19th 

centuries as a result of the rapid growth of pioneering copper and tin mining. Its deep underground 

mines, engine houses, foundries, new towns, smallholdings, ports and harbours, and ancillary 

industries together reflect prolific innovation which, in the early 19th century, enabled the region to 

produce two thirds of the world‟s supply of copper. The substantial remains are a testimony to the 

contribution Cornwall and West Devon made to the industrial revolution in the rest of Britain and to the 

fundamental influence the area had on the mining world at large. Cornish technology embodied in 

95

engines, engine houses and mining equipment were exported around the world. Cornwall and West 

Devon were the heartland from which mining technology rapidly spread. When Cornish and West 

Devon mining declined in the 1860s, large numbers of miners emigrated to work and live in mining 

communities based on Cornish traditions, in for instance South Africa, Australia, and Central and South 

America, where Cornish engine houses still survive. 


Le paysage des Cornouailles et de l‟ouest du Devon s‟est en grande partie transformé au XVIII et au 

début du XIXe siècle dans le sillage de l‟essor rapide de l‟exploitation minière du cuivre et de l‟étain. 

Les profondes mines souterraines , les bâtiments des machines, les fonderies, les villes nouvelles, les 

petites propriétés, les ports et les industries associées reflètent le prolifique esprit d‟innovation qui fut le 

moteur de ce développement industriel, qui produisait au début du XIXe siècle les deux tiers du cuivre 

mondial. Les nombreux vestiges attestent de la contribution des Cornouailles et de l‟ouest du Devon à 

la Révolution industrielle dans le reste de la Grande-Bretagne, et de l‟influence fondamentale de cette 

région sur l‟ensemble du monde minier. La technologie des Cornouailles qu‟incarnent les machines, les 

bâtiments qui les abritent et l‟équipement minier fut exportée dans le monde entier. Les Cornouailles et 

l‟ouest du Devon furent au cœur de la diffusion rapide de la technologie minière. Lorsque l‟activité 

minière des Cornouailles et de l‟ouest du Devon déclinèrent dans les années 1860, les mineurs 

émigrèrent en grand nombre vers des communautés minières fondées d‟après les traditions de des 

Cornouailles, par exemple en Afrique du Sud, Australie, Amérique centrale, Amérique du Sud, où 

subsistent encore aujourd‟hui des bâtiments qui abritent des machines de Cornouailles.

2009 - Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal / Pont-canal et canal de Pontcysyllte 

(Criteria i - ii - iv) 

96


Situated in north-eastern Wales, the 18 kilometre long Pontcysyllte Canal is a feat of civil engineering of 

the Industrial Revolution, completed in the early years of the 19th century. Covering a difficult 

geographical setting, the building of the canal required substantial, bold civil engineering solutions, 

especially as it was built without using locks. The aqueduct is a pioneering masterpiece of engineering 

and monumental metal architecture, conceived by the celebrated civil engineer Thomas Telford. The 

use of both cast and wrought iron in the aqueduct enabled the construction of arches that were light 

and d strong, producing an overall effect that is both monumental and elegant. The property is inscribed 

as a masterpiece of creative genius, and as a remarkable synthesis of expertise already acquired in 

Europe. It is also recognized as an innovative ensemble that inspired many projects all over the world. 

Justification ofr inscription 

Criterion (i): The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a highly innovative monumental civil engineering structure, 

made using metal arches supported by high, slender masonry piers. It is the first great masterpiece of 

the civil engineer Thomas Telford and formed the basis of his outstanding international reputation. It 

bears witness to the production capacities of the British ironmaking industry, which were unique at that 

time. 

Criterion (ii): The intensive construction of canals in Great Britain, from the second half of the 18th 

century onwards, and that of the Pontcysyllte Canal in particular in a difficult region, bear witness to 

considerable technical interchanges and decisive progress in the design and construction of artificial 

waterways. 

Criterion (iv): The Pontcysyllte Canal and its civil engineering structures bear witness to a crucial 

stage in the development of heavy cargo transport in order to further the Industrial Revolution. They are 

outstanding representatives of its new technical and monumental possibilities. 


Situés au nord-est du pays de Galles, les 18 km du canal de Pontcysyllte représentent un exploit du 

génie civil de la Révolution industrielle. Achevé au début du XIXème siècle, le canal surmonte 

d'importantes difficultés géographiques. Sa construction a demandé des travaux de génie civil 

importants et audacieux car il s'agit d'un ensemble d'un seul bief, sans aucune écluse. Le pont-canal, 

conçu par le célèbre ingénieur Thomas Telford, est une œuvre pionnière par ses choix technologiques 

et sa hardiesse architecturale. Le recours à la fonte et au fer forgé a permis la réalisation d'arches 

légères et résistantes, ce qui confère au pont-canal une allure monumentale mais élégante. Le bien est 

inscrit en tant que chef d'œuvre du génie créateur humain et remarquable synthèse de l'expertise 

européenne de cette époque. Il s'agit aussi d'un ensemble innovateur qui a inspiré bien d'autres projets 

un peu partout dans le monde. 

Justification d’inscription 

Critère (i): Le pont-canal de Pontcysyllte est un ouvrage d‟art monumental très novateur, réalisé au 

moyen d‟arches métalliques posées sur de hautes et fines piles maçonnées. C‟est le premier grand 

chef-d‟œuvre de l‟ingénieur civil Thomas Telford, à la base d‟une notoriété internationale 

exceptionnelle. Il témoigne des capacités de production alors uniques de l‟industrie sidérurgique 

britannique. 

Critère (ii): La construction intensive des canaux en Grande-Bretagne, à compter de la seconde moitié 

du XVIIIe siècle, et particulièrement de celui de Pontcysyllte dans une région difficile, témoigne 

d‟échanges techniques considérables et de progrès décisifs dans la conception et la réalisation des 

voies d‟eau artificielles. 

Critère (iv): Le canal de Pontcysyllte et ses ouvrages d‟art témoignent d‟une étape marquante dans le 

développement des transports lourds au profit de la révolution industrielle. Ils sont des représentants 

exceptionnels de ses nouvelles possibilités techniques et monumentales.
