[Cz-L] From the UNESCO news.

Four new sites inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List
Tuesday, June 28, 2011
The Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans (Ukraine), the
Petroglyphs Complexes of the Mongolian Altai (Mongolia), The Causses and the
C?vennes, Mediterranean Agro-pastoral Cultural Landscape (France) and Le?n
Cathedral (Nicaragua) - have been added to UNESCO's World Heritage List. The
full list of new inscriptions which is now complete will be given out
shortly.

The Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans (Ukraine) represents
a masterful synergy of architectural styles built by Czech architect Josef
Hlavka from 1864 to 1882. The property, an outstanding example of
19th -century historicist architecture, also includes a seminary and
monastery and is dominated by the domed, cruciform Seminary Church with a
garden and park. The complex expresses architectural and cultural influences
from the Byzantine period onward and embodies the powerful presence of the
Orthodox Church during Habsburg rule, reflecting the Austro-Hungarian Empire
policy of religious tolerance.
