Bridging monuments through digital repository and graphic reconstruction methodologies the Digital Enhancement project of Argolid, Arcadia and Corinthia castles, Greece

The former 25th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities in Greece has long been engaged in the research of medieval fortified architecture and in tailoring of restoration and promotion projects for particular monuments. “Digital Enhancement of Argolid, Arcadia and Corinthia castles” is an ongoing project, currently carried out under the jurisdiction of the newly established Argolid Ephorate of Antiquities. It concerns the creation of an archaeological-centered web-platform and smart-phone application for researchers and public, containing 105 sites of castles, fortified locations and individual towers, scattered within the geographical borders of the aforementioned prefectures. The current essay examines how the documentation methodology leads the visitor to extract comparative scientific data concerning the archaeological sites and fortified architecture in general by presenting what is the platform´s contribution to visualizing archaeologi.cal space.
