Fotopedia Heritage, in cooperation with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, has brought together 20,000 photos, illustrating all World Heritage Sites and 3,000 points of interests in a free application for the iPhone and iPad. 

 Fotopedia Heritage is part of Fotopedia, the first collaborative photo encyclopedia. A team led by Jean-Marie Hullot built the application while the Fotopedia community added and curated the photos thus ensuring high relevance and quality. 

 They say it 'reinvents' the coffee table book experience because it has more photos than a book can hold and is complemented with rich media. "There is no last page in this book," said Hullot, Fotopedia founder and CEO. 

If you are planning a trip, you are also just one click away from TripAdvisor travel information for the World Heritage Sites you are interested in.
