Travel Virtually to UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Poland
/In collaboration with Melody from Global Med Travel.com, Speaking of Travel invites you to travel on some amazing virtual tours.
Melody invites you to travel with her on a virtual tour of two UNESCO world heritage sites. Pull up Google Earth in your browser and type in UNESCO – #23 & 24 on the map are jaw-dropping structural masterpieces.
As a result of strict conditions imposed by the Roman Emperor in the mid 1600's, three Protestant churches were permitted to be constructed in this region of Poland, but were required to be built only of wood and clay.
To meet this and other specifications, the builders of the Churches of Peace had to rely on what UNESCO calls "pioneering constructional and architectural solutions of a scale and complexity unknown before or since in wooden architecture" The Google Earth tour of these two sites will have you walking right up to the colorful wooden sculptures, and looking up through the mind-bending multi-tier galleries, up to the decorated ceilings of these timber-framed masterpieces.
Another thing to know about Poland: the country is investing heavily in its hospitals, which have become a hotspot for medical tourism in Europe.
We hope you'll enjoy your virtual tour of these two incredible Polish churches on Google Earth's UNESCO world heritage map.
