the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem
    great site, interesting pictures

other churches and sacred sites of the Holy Land
    organized by a Franciscan -- quite handy.  Good photographs.  The plans are not the clearest in the world, but they're there!  Many of these buildings were financed by Constantine and organized by St. Helena.

The Second Temple
    Destroyed in A.D. 70
    Use with care -- any site about the lost Temple may be a little cranky.  This one looks sound, but I haven't had time to read it carefully.
    Donald Binder, who's site follows, links to it.  That may be a good sign -- he is certainly a scholar.

Second Temple Period Synagogues
    a dissertation reworked into a web page -- some USEFUL images for the built environment of Jewish worship before A.D. 70.
    Exceptionally nice web design!

The PICTORIAL GLOSSARY of Medieval Art and Architecture -- from medart at pitt.edu
    This wonderful resource uses frames and highlighted line drawings to illustrate the terminology of medieval art and architecture.
    It even PRONOUNCES the word for you!

Monasticism Online
    Students ask if there are still monks and nuns -- the answer is "yes, and you should see their web pages."  The tradition of the scriptorium is alive and well.
    Look here for lots of images of monasteries.
