A3: How about Samarra Archaeological City in Iraq? The 9th-century Great Mosque and its spiral minaret are among the many architectural masterpieces of this UNESCO-listed site. #TRLT

A3: Great Zimbabwe is not a well known site, but it is truly spectacular. Visit last afternoon - it's a special time in the place (and not as hot). #TRLT

A3 So many people go to the Taj Mahal in Agra but miss the Agra "Red" Fort. I found this to be far more stunning than the Taj Mahal! https://t.co/HNP6BYE3TB #TRLT @postcardsplaces @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64

#trlt A3: So, I don't know about "least known", but certainly I'd say that one of the least visited, at least for Europe, is the St Kilda archipelago off the coast of Scotland. In UNESCO's list twice, for both culture/history, and landscape/environment.

A3 After a tortuous ascent on a rough track to a barren mountain plateau - and then along a faint route, is the tiny Omani village of Jaylah. The village's claim to fame is that its 'falaj'- the ancient man-made water channels of Oman - is a UNESCO site #TRLT

A3 #TRLT via @postcardsplaces the Curonian Spit on the Baltic. Runs down from Lithuania to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. We visited Nida, once a fishing village, now a popular tourist resort. Author Thomas Mann is one of many Germans to have holidayed here.

A3: Has anyone here visited Sarazm in Tajikistan? One of the world’s oldest cities, this wonderfully preserved site allows visitors to walk through doorways that existed 5,000 years before! https://t.co/k7ApMvW5da #TRLT

#TRLT A3: The Struve Geodetic Arc marker in Jekabpils, Latvia. Part of a series of survey markers used to measure the size and shape of Earth. Not visually impressive but the rare scientific inclusion by UNESCO

A3: Skara Brae in the Orkney Islands, of the North Coast of Scotland is a little known site of ancient organized civilization - 5,000+ yrs old. More mysteries of our past. #TRLT

A3: We’re fascinated by the Royal Palaces of Abomey! With walls made of blood and palaces containing thrones balanced on human heads, this gory Buckingham Palace of Benin is a testament to a now-vanished, powerful kingdom. https://t.co/GeIzCNrRld #TRLT

A3 #trlt I have no concept of what’s less known. Carcassonne, Masada, Acre, Polish salt mines???! No idea. I’ll go with ‘Bahá’i Holy Places in Haifa and the Western Galilee’ as I didn’t know about the religion & it had some beautiful gardens.

A3 Lots of people know that Uzbekistan's Silk Road cities are @UNESCO sites, but they overlook the natural treasures. The Western Tien Shan Mountains also have World Heritage Site status, & are a wonderful contrast to the urban sites, especially in summertime. #TRLT
