A UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Inscribed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City is part of a special family of world heritage sites that include the Taj Mahal, Stonehenge, Venice and the Great Wall of China.

From pioneering buildings in cast-iron, the world’s first enclosed dock and the world’s first inter-city railway to the music of The Beatles, the city’s maritime mercantile culture shaped world history.
