From Bluetooth to UNESCO
Trelleborg is part of the world heritage
What is UNESCO World Heritage?
In the wake of the destruction of World War II, the UN decided to take action to preserve cultural heritage. This led to what we now know as UNESCO's World Heritage List. Today, the list includes more than a thousand sites that have been selected as representatives of the world's most unique natural and cultural sites.
