FfFfFfFF 58,136 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 BBC: The historic centre of the Ukrainian port city of Odesa has been designated an endangered World Heritage site by the United Nations cultural agency. Unesco said its decision recognised "the outstanding universal value" of the site. The foreign ministry in Moscow also accused Ukraine of submitting a poor application dossier and claimed the vote had been taken "under pressure from the West" while "disregarding the rules of procedure". Seven other sites in Ukraine have been added to Unesco's World Heritage List, including Tserkvas wooden churches, the Saint-Sophia Cathedral in the capital Kyiv and the historic centre of the western city of Lviv.

LilyLark 10,213 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Odesa is one of the most amazing places I've ever been, and I've traveled a lot. I hope it remains intact. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't a UNESCO world heritage site earlier...Honestly, the whole Black Sea area is freaking gorgeous. I remember being surprised it wasn't more of a tourist hot spot, but my friend was like it absolutely is a tourist spot (even outside of Turkey) among Russians, Eastern Europeans, etc....it's just never been super popular with Americans and Western Europeans.
