10Italy
Italy leads Europe—and the world—when it comes to World Heritage Sites. Its unparalleled legacy spans Ancient Rome, the Renaissance, and centuries of artistic brilliance. From the Colosseum and Roman Forum to the historic centers of Florence, Venice, and Naples, Italy’s heritage is woven into everyday life.
Beyond cities, Italy’s sites include ancient Pompeii, the trulli of Alberobello, the Amalfi Coast, and prehistoric cave art. What makes Italy exceptional is not just the number of sites, but their influence on global culture, architecture, art, and philosophy.
