Caribbean Sites for UNESCO World Heritage Status

HAITI:
29. Centre historique de Jacmel 
Date of Submission: 21/9/2004 and Category: Cultural
Founded in 1698 by the Compagnie de Saint-Domingue Jacmel, the city lies on the left bank of the mouth of the River Cosse or Great River of Jacmel. It is the capital of the department of South-East and administrative center of the district of Jacmel. Like 1895 when a large portion of the city was damaged by fire, they are once again rebuilding after the damage caused by the 2010 earthquake that hit Haiti. - See more at: http://www.caribbeanandco.com/41-caribbean-sites-unesco-world-heritage-status/#sthash.w2GvTXU1.xA6CUgxW.dpuf
