Gamzigrad on UNESCO list?

The Gamizgrad site, located south of the Danube river near Zaječar in eastern Serbia, also known as Felix Romuliana, is among five locations that stand most chances to enter the list.

Felix Romuliana is thought to have been one of the residences built by the Roman Emperor Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximianus in the late 3rd and early 4th century and dedicated to his mother Romulae.

It was officially recognized as a monument of Roman architecture in 1984.

Aside from Gamzigrad, French town of Bordeaux, Greek island of Corfu, the Sydney Opera House, and Volcanic island of Jeju, South Korea, are hoping to enter the world heritage listing.

The committee will also decide if any heritage sites are in danger from war, tourism, overdevelopment or neglect.

Those that could be deemed endangered include the Tower of London, the Galapagos Islands, Dresden in Germany and Machu Picchu in Peru.

There are currently 830 sites on the World Heritage List, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, which has been updated regularly since 1972.
