Guess which Welsh area is joining the Taj Mahal as UNESCO World Heritage Site?

It will now become the UK's 32nd World Heritage Site and the fourth in Wales among the 1,149 across the globe, including the Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Egypt.

London: A scenic area in north-west Wales known for its landscape of slate mines on Wednesday joined the likes of the Taj Mahal in Agra as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The United Kingdom's bid for the mines to be added to the prestigious list was backed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the World Heritage Committee approved the listing for the role played by the slate to roof many of the world's iconic buildings. It will now become the UK's 32nd World Heritage Site and the fourth in Wales among the 1,149 across the globe, including the Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Egypt. "This distinctive corner of our country is already on the map, having sent its slate across Britain, Europe and even Australia, and a UNESCO accolade would only propel it further," Johnson said in his backing for the bid. A World Heritage Site listing is awarded to a landmark or area of significant historic importance and comes with legal protection against its destruction. Following the listing, UK Heritage Minister Caroline Dinenage described it as a 'huge achievement and testament' to the importance of the region during the industrial revolution.
