Ferrara [ferˈraːra], City of the Renaissance, and its Po [po] Delta - Italy
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/733
Ferrara, which grew up around a ford over the River Po, became an intellectual and artistic centre that attracted the greatest minds of the Italian Renaissance in the 15th and 16th centuries. Here, Piero della Francesca, Jacopo Bellini and Andrea Mantegna decorated the palaces of the House of Este. The humanist concept of the 'ideal city' came to life here in the neighbourhoods built from 1492 onwards by Biagio Rossetti according to the new principles of perspective. The completion of ...

Kutná Hora [ˈkutnaː ˈɦora]: Historical Town Centre with the Church of St Barbara and the Cathedral of Our Lady at Sedlec - Czechia
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/732
Kutná Hora developed as a result of the exploitation of the silver mines. In the 14th century it became a royal city endowed with monuments that symbolized its prosperity. The Church of St Barbara, a jewel of the late Gothic period, and the Cathedral of Our Lady at Sedlec, which was restored in line with the Baroque taste of the early 18th century, were to influence the architecture of central Europe. These masterpieces today form part of a well-preserved medieval urban fabric with some particul

Old and New Towns of Edinburgh - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/728
Edinburgh has been the Scottish capital since the 15th century. It has two distinct areas: the Old Town, dominated by a medieval fortress; and the neoclassical New Town, whose development from the 18th century onwards had a far-reaching influence on European urban planning. The harmonious juxtaposition of these two contrasting historic areas, each with many important buildings, is what gives the city its unique character. 2024-05-07

“The president was fast on his feet. Sensing an opportunity to extemporize [ɪkˈstɛmpəˌraɪz], he looked around the chamber, pleased.” — Robin Abcarian, The Los Angeles Times, 12 Feb. 2023
extemporize [ɪkˈstɛmpəˌraɪz]
verb
To extemporize means to do something extemporaneously (adv spoken or done without preparation) - in other words, to improvise.
extemporize was coined by adding the suffix -ize to the Latin phrase ex tempore, meaning “on impulse” or “on the spur of the moment.” (Incidentally, ex tempore was also borrowed wholesale into English with the meaning “in an extemporaneous manner.”)

Caves of Aggtelek [ˈɒɡːtɛlɛk] Karst and Slovak [ˈslovɑk] Karst - Hungary, Slovakia
(Karst [kɑrst]: landscape underlain by limestone which has been eroded by dissolution, producing ridges, towers, fissures, sinkholes and other characteristic landforms.)
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/725
The variety of formations and the fact that they are concentrated in a restricted area means that the 712 caves currently identified make up a typical temperate-zone karstic system. Because they display an extremely rare combination of tropical and glacial climatic effects, they make it possible to study geological history over tens of millions of years. 2024-05-06

“Adjuah sings in a keening, plangent [ˈplændʒənt] tone, but at one point he pauses to offer a spoken invitation: ‘Listen to the wind,’ he says. ‘The voices calling to you from yesterday.’” — Giovanni Russonello, The New York Times, 30 June 2023
plangent [ˈplændʒənt]
adj
Something, such as a sound, that is described as plangent is loud, deep, and often expressive of sadness or suffering. // Synonym of plaintive.
traces back to the Latin verb plangere
Plangent adds power to our poetry and prose: the pounding of waves, the beat of wings, the tolling of a bell, the throbbing of the human heart, a lover’s knocking at the door—all have been described as plangent.

Cultural Landscape of Sintra [ˈsĩtɾɐ] - Portugal

In the 19th century Sintra became the first centre of European Romantic architecture.

Other fine dwellings, built along the same lines in the surrounding <em>serra</em> , created a unique combination of parks and gardens which influenced the development o...
