Rows of stećci graveyards cross borders, sprawling across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia. There are 30 gravesites in all.

Located in Spain, this site features both natural and man-made monuments. Behind the town of Antequera looms Peña de los Enamorados, or Lovers' Rock.

Antequera is also home to the Tolos of El Romeral, or tombs, with false passages, built with stone in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.

Lying in the path of an ancient trade route between Asia and Europe, Philippi was a walled city in what is now Greece. It was founded in 356 BC.

In the 14th Century, Ani was invaded by Mongols and struck by an earthquake. The medieval city never recovered.

Hidden in the cliffs to the east of the Rock of Gibraltar are four cave complexes.
