Medieval cities and castles, fossil deposits from the Triassic period, high Alpine landscapes, industrial cityscapes, vineyard terraces, wonders of railway engineering, early medieval murals, a unique library in a Baroque abbey and pioneering buildings - so different yet with one thing in common: these sites have all been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
This is the first book to present the twelve World Heritage properties in Switzerland: it tells us about, and lets us discover, the many fascinating aspects of these places of outstanding universal value - imprints of history and harbingers of things to come.
