The committee highlighted the park\u2019s introduction of nature into Madrid, as well as the influence the properties within had on the design of other cities in Latin America. Next to the park is the Paseo del Prado which is a pedestrian boulevard that connects Madrid\u2019s art centers, bringing together the Prado Museum with the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Reina Sofia Art Center.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new addition&nbsp;further establishes Spain as home to one of the largest collections of UNESCO World Heritage sites around the world, with an impressive total of 49 sites. To mark this recent accomplishment, it is time to go back and look at Spain\u2019s most iconic sites that have been added to UNESCO\u2019s list throughout the years, including some considered as the most popular tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Merida.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Merida-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Merida\" class=\"wp-image-26941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Merida-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Merida-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Merida-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Merida-1080x720.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Merida.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Roman Amphitheatre in\u00a0M\u00e9rida.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting off with the Archaeological Ensemble of M\u00e9rida, the capital of Extremadura that was founded in 25 BC by Emperor Augustus and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

This ancient city has been occupied by several distinct cultures, from Romans to Visogoths to Moors, and its architectural masterpieces are the product of a diverse environment where the co-existence of three major religions Islam, Judaism, and Christianity played a huge role. The city boasts numerous synagogues, mosques, and cathedrals, each built in a distinct design presenting unique traits of the prevailing culture at the time. Toledo was also considered a center of arts during the Renaissance period, and it is home to countless renowned pieces from legendary artists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These 4 sites are just the tip of the iceberg considering the number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites that Spain boasts.
