"The enormous mining excavation known as the Great Pit at Falun is the
most striking feature of a landscape that illustrates the activity of
copper production in this region since at least the 13th century. The
17th-century planned town of Falun with its many fine historic
buildings, together with the industrial and domestic remains of a number
of settlements spread over a wide area of the Dalarna region, provide a
vivid picture of what was for centuries one of the world's most
important mining areas." -http://whc.unesco.org/
