home to three (of the) great treasures of world heritage*
Explanation:
*They love the word "arrabal" and to talk about "huertos y arrabales" in Segovia, but the places mentioned here are no longer situated in the outskirts of the city or even in open spaces. I suggest not trying to pack in a replacement for "arrabal" and even to consider doing away with the "terna", although the idea of a short list can be worked with. Some ideas to get everyone's creative juices flowing:
Amazing/Astounding city, a place whose architectural glory can be summed up in a list of three breathtaking monuments:
Amazing/Astounding city, home to three (of the) great treasures of world heritage:
Amazing/Astounding city, whose name evokes three breathtaking monuments to its rich cultural heritage:
