The 33rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held on 22-30 June 2009 in Seville added 13 new entries to the World Heritage List. The main event, which dominated the session, was the deletion from the List of the Dresden Elbe valley, included in 2004 as a cultural landscape. The decision was motivated by the construction of a four-lane bridge in the very heart of the valley. At present, after this year’s session, the World Heritage List contains 890 entries.
