Google maps views of medieval castles



Google Maps of Castles, Cathedrals and Abbeys


Imagine all the people in the past who would have been thrilled with this technology. It's pretty thrilling now, but think back to all the scholars, geographers, historians, kings and generals whose lives would have been different had such images existed in past centuries.



2024 NOTE:

Those links quit working; I'm sad.

The wayback machine has some, but searching google maps or google earth for a castle might be better, all these years later.

This picture gave me goosebumps.... i so want to walk on that road and go into that castle. I have never explored this blog of yours! Just goes to show how much i'm getting from just the other blog/site and group. :-)
