Cartina grows to 45 collections and 193,227 places to tick off
Lighthouses, cathedrals, temples, every UNESCO World Heritage site, castles, skyscrapers, stadiums by league, Formula 1 circuits, distilleries… Cartina adds 27 collections and completes the World Heritage list. Still offline, in thirteen languages.
CANADA, 21 October 2026 — Nidello updates Cartina, its travel globe for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. The app grows from 18 to 45 collections and from 141,810 to 193,227 places to tick off. The UNESCO World Heritage list is now complete, with 1,251 properties.
What is new
Twenty-seven new collections, grouped into nine categories:
- Heritage: every UNESCO World Heritage site, with its year of inscription and the sites in danger; castles and forts, palaces, famous cemeteries, battlefields and memorials.
- Places of worship: every cathedral and basilica, remarkable churches, temples (Buddhist, Hindu, Shinto, Sikh, Jain, ancient, Latter-day Saint), mosques, synagogues, shrines and places of pilgrimage.
- Architecture: every lighthouse, bridges and covered bridges, skyscrapers of 200 metres and more and the great towers, dams.
- Culture and leisure: museums, opera houses and concert halls, observatories, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, amusement parks — every Disney and Universal park included.
- Sport: the stadiums and arenas of the major leagues (NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL, MLS, CFL, WNBA and Europe's five big football leagues), filterable league by league, and every circuit that has hosted a Formula 1 Grand Prix.
- Food and drink: every Scotch whisky distillery and the world's great distilleries, with the spirit they make.
- Nature: glaciers join the lakes, mountains, waterfalls and volcanoes.
Built for the numbers
- One place, one tick. Notre-Dame de Québec is both a cathedral and a basilica: tick it once and it counts in both collections.
- By country, by type. Every collection reads country by country — "3 of 41 cathedrals in Canada" — and filters by type or league. Hide the collections you do not care about.
- Still offline, still fast. The catalogue ships inside the app and loads only on demand: nothing more at launch, and the app uses less memory than before.
- In your language. Place names come in the app's thirteen languages where they exist, and search finds them in all of them.
- Open data. The new collections come from Wikidata, the Wikimedia Foundation's free knowledge base.
Collections are free to browse. Cartina Pro ticks them off for you, from your photos or as you arrive, and lets you tick them by hand.
