Xitie Ancient Town and Related Dharaputi Monuments
This series of heritage sites consists of three parts: the unique twin city ruins (with moats surrounding the inner and outer cities), the large-scale Khao Klang Nok, and the Khao Thamorrat Cave. The Dhārabhūti Empire flourished in central Thailand from the 6th to the 10th century. Together, these sites show its architecture, artistic traditions, religious diversity, and the influence of India on it. These traditions were transformed by the locals and developed into a unique artistic tradition, the Si Thep art school, which later influenced other civilizations in Southeast Asia.

Historic Centre of Oaxaca and Archaeological Site of Monte Albán
Inhabited for 1,500 years by a variety of peoples, including the Olmecs, Zapotecs and Mixtecs, Monte Alban’s terraces, dams, canals, pyramids and artificial mounds were carved out of the mountain as a symbol of sacred topography. The nearby city of Oaxaca, laid out on a grid, is a prime example of town planning during the Spanish colonial period. The solidity and volume of the city’s buildings suggest they were adapted to the earthquake-prone region where these architectural gems were built.
