A university observatory in Russia has been inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The astronomical observatories of Kazan Federal University, located in the city of Kazan, were added to the esteemed list on Monday as UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee continued its deliberations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The site is made up of the Kazan Observatory, built in 1837 in the historical center of the city, and a complex that includes the suburban Engelhardt Astronomical Observatory and various historical buildings.
The committee began adding new sites onto the prestigious list on Saturday, with the Forest Massif of Odzala-Kokoua in Congo and the volcanoes and forests of Mount Pelée and the Pitons on the French island of Martinique both chosen. In order to be added to the list, which was established in 1978, a site must be deemed to be of “outstanding universal value,” according to UNESCO.
