It is a national park of the Federated States of Micronesia. It is often referred to as the 'Venice of the Pacific' because it consists of a series of small artificial islands and canals. "Nan Madol" means "within the intervals" in the local language, and the city was the capital of the Saudelaar dynasty until 1500. Nan Madu is a mysterious and magical place that includes many buildings and artificial islands built from thousands of huge stones, some weighing up to 50 tons, dating back to the 8th to 16th centuries AD. Once the centre of Micronesia, the city's unique architecture and advanced building techniques have attracted many people to see and learn. In July 2016, South Madure was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in danger at the 40th World Heritage Committee in Istanbul, Turkey. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
