Dresden Elbe Valley
The 18th-19th century cultural landscape of the Dresden Elbe Valley stretches along the river for about 18 kilometers, from the Übigau Palace and the Ostrach Fields in the northwest to Pillnitz Palace and the Elbe Island in the southeast. The area is characterized by low meadows, topped by Pillnitz Palace and the center of Dresden, where there are numerous monuments and parks from the 16th to 20th centuries. The area also has suburban villas and gardens from the 19th and 20th centuries and precious natural landscapes. Some of the terraced slopes along the river are still used for growing grapes, and some old villages have preserved historical buildings and elements from the Industrial Revolution, especially the 147-meter-long Blue Wonder Steel Bridge (1891-93), the monorail suspension cable car (1898-1901) and the cable car (1894-95). Passenger steamships (the oldest one, built in 1879) and shipyards (around 1900) are still in use.
The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright
The estate includes eight buildings designed by Wright in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. These include the famous Fallingwater (Millen, Pennsylvania) and the Guggenheim Museum (New York). All buildings embody the "organic architecture" that Wright developed, including open floor plans, blurred boundaries between indoors and outdoors, and unprecedented use of materials such as steel and concrete. Each of these buildings provided innovative solutions to the needs of living, worshipping, working, or relaxing. Wright's work from this period had a strong influence on the development of modern architecture in Europe.
Archaeological Areas of Pompei, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata
On 24 August 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, engulfing the two prosperous Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as many of the region’s wealthy villas. Since the mid-18th century, these villas have been gradually excavated and opened to the public. The vast expanse of the commercial town of Pompeii contrasts with the smaller but better preserved remains of the resort of Herculaneum, while the exquisite frescoes of the Villa Oplontis in Torre Annunziata provide a vivid picture of the lavish lifestyles of the wealthy citizens of the early Roman Empire.
