Google goes off-road again in newly released photos taken from the Street View trike, with some impressive panoramas taken inside and around UNESCO listed historic and archaeological sites in Italy and France.
The Colosseum in Rome:
Emperor Augustus’ palace on the Palatine Hill in Rome:
Florence cathedral, the Basilica of Santa del Maria del Flore:
In addition to these locations Google’s latlong post also highlights new images for the Imperial Forum, Appian way and Baths of Diocletian in Rome, also the Palace of Fontainebleau near Paris.
As with previous updates there’s probably more goodness to be found if you let Pegman guide you in Google Maps or Google Earth.
