It has four colleges and four universities with more than 60,000 students.[5] Its historic centre (Altstadt) is one of the best-preserved city centres in Central Europe.[6]<br />For centuries, Graz was more important to Slovenes and Croats, both politically and culturally, than the capitals of Ljubljana, Slovenia and Zagreb, Croatia; it remains influential to this day.[7] In 1999, the city's historic centre was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites and in 2010 the designation was expanded to include Eggenberg Palace (German: Schloss Eggenberg) on the western edge of the city.
