From the Church of the Nativity to Tell es-Sultan: sites UNESCO has inscribed on the World Heritage List, four of them on Cana's journey lines.

In 2012, the Birthplace of Jesus: Church of the Nativity and the Pilgrimage Route in Bethlehem was inscribed on the World Heritage List, the first site inscribed for Palestine.

In 2014 came Battir, with its ancient farming terraces and the irrigation channels that still water its gardens.

In 2017, the Old Town of Hebron (Al-Khalil), with its markets and stone quarters around the Ibrahimi Mosque.

In 2023, Tell es-Sultan in Jericho, the site of ancient Jericho, one of the oldest towns in the world. And in 2024, Saint Hilarion Monastery (Tell Umm Amer) in Gaza.

The first four are on Cana's map and in its curated journeys: start with the one closest to your road.
