Photographs of Ricardo Melgar presented different perspectives of the town and castle, the river Tormes and the convent of Annunciation



Google has included some of these images in your geographic program Google Earth, via the web Panoramio

Internet and particularly Google never ceases to amaze. After inclusion of the village in the new program "Street View" images Ricardo Melgar air have been accepted to illustrate the Google Earth program, one of the most prestigious Geographic Information System, which lets you fly anywhere on Earth, and view satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings. Of all the places in the world, the ducal villa also has a reserved space.

The most striking images are those of the Castle of the Dukes of Alba, and more particularly, the Basilica, which show for the first time since the sky the progress of construction of the temple. Thus they can be seen, the work performed in June 2008, when passing from the chapel choir at the bedside, where the walls were raised. At first glance, one of the most noteworthy points are the four arches that form the basis for the cruise, made of brick and concrete.
can be seen in the photographs covers the head and the presbytery, consisting of copper plates. One can also observe perfectly the regrowth of existing factories to reach a level at which it left space for the windows. The placement of the pieces of wood in the area of \u200b\u200bthe sanctuary was a tricky task as the approximate weight of each one of them was in excess of 900 kilos and their placement was carried out to twenty feet high.
