[Adobe Flash required]

National Shrine Virtual Tour 360

Tour The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception online - full screen. The Shrine's Virtual Tour 360 contains nested scrollable windows. Let the page fully load and expand your browser all the way. (The page appears to be set for at least 1024 x 768 screen resolution.) Use the initial/top scroll bars to reveal the other scroll bars hidden in the initial window showing the Shrine's exterior. Eventually, the navigation buttons will be revealed. Click on the Full Screen button (showing four arrows) ... and enjoy. Be sure to visit all four tour options (the two Shrine exterior views and the upper and lower church tours).

The Holy Sepulchre Virtual Tour  -  Jerusalem

This is not a Catholic site, but it is a virtual 360 tour of the Holy Sepulchre. The controls are somewhat different than the National Shrine's tour, but it can be viewed full screen and does let you drag the image in any direction. Be sure to use the "List" navigation scroll bar to see all the view selections. If you plan to join Fr. Faust on the pilgrimage to the Holy Land, this will give you a nice preview. If you're not, this will get you as close to being there as you can with a personal computer. Unfortunately, this site does not show the main dome and the edicule but this one does: Jerusalem Virtual Tours - Church of the Holy Sepulchre."
