<\/a><\/p>\n1<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0As-Salt, Jordan<\/h3>\nDubbed \u201cThe Place of Tolerance and Urban Hospitality,\u201d the historic limestone city of As-Salt, in west-central Jordan, was an important trading hub during the late Ottoman period. For over 60 years, the region prospered from the arrival of merchants from surrounding areas which also attracted craftsmen who contributed to transforming this rural settlement into a thriving city. The newly inscribed site comprises around 650 buildings that have historical significance. They are characterized by their yellow limestone and their style of combining European Art Nouveau and Neo-Colonial architecture with local traditions. The tightly built urban core of this mountainside city \u2013 with its network of interlinked stairways, alleyways, public squares, and streets \u2013 has fostered a culture of tolerance between people of different cultural groups and religions which has helped shape the harmonious spirit of the city.<\/p>\n

Together, these towns bear witness to the complex urban, social and cultural phenomenon of European spas, which dates back to antiquity but was at its peak from the early 18th century to the 1930s. Developed around natural mineral springs, these towns, set in picturesque landscapes, led to the rise of traditional medical uses of spring waters as well as the emergence of international resorts. And, in today\u2019s post-pandemic world, their therapeutic benefits are more sought after than ever.<\/p>\n
