The human need to connect with sacred places, consecrated by venerable sanctuaries, saints, and sacred rituals, is as old as recorded history itself, perhaps even older.

In the ancient world, these places combined the divine architecture of temples with an imposing environment. In today's age, where material needs constantly challenge religious values, sacred sites have acquired a different significance, becoming spiritual oases capable of inspiring higher aspirations.

'Sacred Places' takes us on a journey to over thirty locations around the globe, from Mexico to China and from Norway to India, to visit consecrated temples and shrines, mysterious mountains, and pilgrimage sites. The texts accompanying the maps describe these locations and present the reasons for each one's sanctity, while also citing their connections to spiritual leaders and holy individuals.

The colored photographs highlight all the details of cathedrals, mosques, and ancient shrines, as well as their typically idyllic surroundings. The geographical maps show the precise location of each sacred site, while the Timeline offers a general overview of the conditions of each historical period.
