This card from Banská Štiavnica in Slovakia is my 780 UNESCO site. I've got it thanks to Mircea.

Over the centuries, the town of Banská Štiavnica was visited by many
outstanding engineers and scientists who contributed to its fame. The old
medieval mining centre grew into a town with Renaissance palaces, 16th-century
churches, elegant squares and castles. The urban centre blends into the
surrounding landscape, which contains vital relics of the mining and
metallurgical activities of the past. - in: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/618
