I bought some unesco cards in Italy hoping to make some trades for missing sites but i've been lazy to do so. Maybe in the next few days.
Anyway, Marie "vykorstfantast" was offering some unesco cards and i requested these from Sweden, Agricultural Landscape of Southern Öland and Naval Port of Karlskrona.

The city was founded in 1680 when the Royal Swedish Navy was relocated from the mainland to the island which had up until then been used chiefly for farming and grazing. At the time Sweden was the dominant military power in the Baltic sea region. The island had a very strategic position with short sailing distances to the German and Baltic provinces. Its name means Karl's Crown in honour of King Karl XI of Sweden, the name being inspired by the name of the city Landskrona.
The city has kept its street structure since its foundation. Since the streets all follow a grid pattern the winds can blow freely from the ocean right into the heart of the city.
The naval installations there has been declared a Unesco World Heritage Site.
The old architecture together with the naval installations comprise the major tourist attractions of Karlskrona." - in: wikipedia
