Morphology
The meaning 'a place important because of its history' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'historical' (pertaining to history) with 'site' (a place). This adjective+noun composition is a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words should readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Historical site names a site with historical things from the past, like old buildings, ruins, or places where important events happened. So, it means 'a place important because of its history'.
