MADRID - Madrid s tree-lined Paseo del Prado boulevard and the adjoining Retiro park have been added to UNESCO s World Heritage list.
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee, holding an online meeting from Fuzhou, China, backed the candidacy on Sunday that highlighted the green area s introduction of nature into Spain s capital. The influence the properties have had on the designs of other cities in Latin America was also applauded by committee members. Collectively, they illustrate the aspiration for a utopian society during the height of the Spanish Empire, UNESCO said.
