Sacred Places Europe: 108 Destinations
This guide brings both lesser-known and famous European spiritual locales into perspective by explaining the significance of each sacred site.

Brad Olsen provides great information about 108 archaeological sites; famous temples, shrines, and churches; and other European sites and places. This is a tremendous reference for either the dedicated or armchair traveler.

Brad spent months exploring and reporting on these sites, and you'll learn about the practices of the Viking councils, the history of menhirs in Portugal, and Ireland's The Mound of the Hostages.

Brilliant color and black-and-white photos enrich the text, as do the hand drawn maps, which evoke those found in the Lord of the Rings.
