on Google Earth!

Google Earth is a free program that allows you to visually explore the world in high-resolution satellite imagery. It's very fun and very addictive. With a twirl of your mouse, you can spin the globe, zoom out, and zoom in to street level. You can "fly" to everything from the Great Pyramids to your own house!

With the Sacred Destinations Google Earth file, you can explore some of the most beautiful and interesting religious places in the world. Each placemark includes a photo, a short description, and links to articles and photo galleries here on Sacred Destinations.

If you already have Google Earth, just click on the link below and choose "Open with Google Earth" to explore 1,200+ sacred places around the world:

Sacred Destinations Google Earth File

If you don't have Google Earth, you can download it for free in about two minutes from Google here. Then return to this page and click the link above. For more information and help on how to use Google Earth, click on Help in the toolbar after you've downloaded it.

This KML file is updated regularly and more sites are added all the time. It will update automatically, so you do not have to return here to load the markers if you have saved it in "My Places" at Google Earth. Happy exploring!
