WEB SITES OF INTEREST
TO SACRED SITE TOURISTS
Embarking on a virtual or actual tour? These links may help you decide where to go.
Not all of the following web sites were designed with sacred site
tourism in mind. Some are archaeology pages, others travelogue
pages, still others photo archives or personal vacation pages.
Because the ideal web page for the sacred site tourist should be verbally
descriptive and adequately illustrated, those pages that contain no
text or no illustrations are duly noted.
These links are sorted geographically.
For topically-sorted
links to pages on sacred geometry and architecture,
see my LINKS TO
WEB SITES OF RELATED INTEREST.
If you find broken
links here or have sites to recommend, please contact me via e-mail.
