EUreka3D team visiting Montsoriu Castle
Following the EUreka3D Final Conference held in Girona on December 13th, the EUreka3D team had the chance to visit Montsoriu Castle, historical landmark with a breathtaking view of the hills of Montseny.

The Castle is 95% reconstructed following impressive restoration works, and the facility offers guided tours on the grounds, allowing the visitors to evoke what life was like in one of the great castles of the Middle Ages. Considered one of the great fortresses of the Mediterranean, Montsoriu shows us the structure of what used to be the grand palace residence of the Viscounts of Cabrera.

During the visits, the team was discussing the possibilities offered by 3D digitization for the future of this site, especially in enabling virtual access to the castle, also with publication in Europeana, and virtual reconstructions of the different structures of the castle across centuries.

An agreement was established for a next survey of the location, in the light of providing a laser scanner digitisation of the castle. This agreement paves the way for the continuation of work in supporting stakeholders with 3D digitization, leveraging and sharing the knowledge and competence established and collected in the EUreka3D project. This is indeed one future training activity as part of the newly launched EUreka3D Competence Center.
EUreka3D project is co-financed by the Digital Europe Programme of the European Union.
