The Accademia contains a fascinating collection of Venetian artists dating from the thirteenth century until the eighteenth century, and pictures of amazing artists like Titian, Tintoretto, and Giorgione.

Rome is one of the major religious tourist destinations of Christianity. The Cultural Heritage of the beautiful Roman churches is invaluable: its meaning spiritually, for its exquisite art and its remote history of more than 1500 years. We invite you to visit some of the major Catholic churches in the city.

The story of the strong link between Rome and Catholicism begins with his appointment as the official religion of the Roman Empire in the fourth century AD C. From there began the building of churches. At first, the Roman churches arose in relation to places of worship of the time when this faith was banned (as catacombs or private homes).

In Rome, in the V century AD, the construction of churches had an intensity that would be repeated until the seventeenth century. The city soon became the center of Christianity, especially when the Pope’s residence. Then, medieval churches emerge from these Roman buildings. Many vestiges remain in outer walls or groundwater.

By the Renaissance, many ancient temples began to decline. Others were built, which brought out the new styles of art. Where the seventeenth century, we find-maybe-the ultimate expression of Christian architecture: the Basilica of St. Peter, designed by Pope Urban VIII, and by Bramante, Bernini, Raphael and Michelangelo among other great art history.

Who ever has not explored the world through Google Earth. The spy program that allows the planet to satellite view, provides possibilities that exceed the original idea of looking at the roof of our house like. Google Earth allows us to make real finding, or explore places we’ve never visited, but we can understand better thanks to the precision of the program.

From visit cities and sites that do not know guess what, beyond the postcard images, finding curious formations to natural or man-made, so well seen from the sky. Some users exploit the full potential of tourism in the program, using the search engine to find a spot on the map, but also to find itineraries assembled by users or browse images uploaded to Panoramio and geolocated.

Even in Google Earth, begin to appear places or to places of interest that are not on a map or a guide. For any search, we must activate the sidebar (there is a button to activate / hide the bar), and then we can target what we need, simply by entering a zip code, or even the exact coordinates of a point on the planet. For a thematic tour, many cities, regions and countries that use Google Earth to promote themselves. An example is the official website of the Egyptian Tourist Office, which created a bird’s eye view tour the country by posting a virtual tour in Google Earth. The tour ranges from the heritage sites in Egypt, some with 3D views, and sites with descriptions and related links. Even some events have mounted your route on Google Earth, as the Tour de France, with its various stages. They are the users themselves that indicate the routes.

What’s more, Google combines service with street view images at 360 º for worldwide locations. To find them as we sail, we need only activate the layer “Street View” in Using the Layer panel. A virtual way to feel we’re there, although we have not yet removed from the home computer. For if we lack ideas, we can consult records of the strangest views of Google Earth, a collection of giant figures, signs or buildings and giant man-made, and that seemed designed for Google Earth.
