Terracotta warriors Venice
Cultural Heritage 13
Why are World Heritage sites important to culture? They can teach
us culture. They can also show us history. For example, Italy has
Venice. The whole of Venice is full of great buildings and works of
art. This city is historically important. We should keep it well. So,
UNESCO named it a World Cultural Heritage site. China’s tomb of
the first emperor is another World Heritage site. In the tomb, there
are thousands of terracotta warriors, horses, and weapons. They
are made of clay. The tomb shows us the power of the emperor at
that time.
Tell me about it.
