The Taj Mahal is so much more than a collection of marble slabs. Vatican City, despite being the world's smallest nation state, looms large in the collective unconscious for its incredible cultural heritage, which comprises St Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel as well as museums and galleries containing priceless art treasures and artefacts. A 600-year-old Jainish temple features breath-takingly detailed carvings. There are ancient ruins, Baroque interiors, even graves and memorials. Cathedrals, palaces, pyramids and mosques. One charming post shares a typical birdhouse added to the side of a building and fashioned to resemble a miniature palace. But cultural heritage can also be found in costume and music, in works of art and in the geography of the land.
