Scared and spiritual destinations around the world

If you are a traveler and love to discover cultures and places around the world then you would be aware of many places during your travel which are spiritual or scared. It is fun to discover new and interesting places with religious or spiritual values. Now you can browse through information plus pictures of those all places which you didn't visit or travel.

In addition to richly illustrated articles, there are photo galleries containing over 24,000 high-quality images plus detailed maps and lots of practical travel information.

Nearly every culture in human history has sought to honor the divine, the mysterious, the supernatural, or the extraordinary in some way. Most often this happens at sacred sites - special places where the physical world seems to meet the spiritual world. These might be awe-inspiring natural places, sites connected to a god, a saint or a hero, places where miracles occurred, or special buildings consecrated for worship or ritual.

Sacred sites remain spiritually meaningful to millions today and the ancient practice of pilgrimage is as popular as ever. But you don't have to be a believer to recognize that holy places, religious architecture, and sacred art are some of the most beautiful and interesting sights you'll encounter in your travels.

You can find the information at the site, about:

• religious pilgrims and spiritual travelers
• the ordinary traveler who wants to see interesting, historical or beautiful sights
• students and teachers of religion, art or history
•  religious heritage of the world
•  history, geography, art or architecture
