Description

Sântana-Cetatea Veche, Arad, is a Bronze Age fortification that has recently come to the attention of archaeologists due to its dimensions and identified structures. Being first described in the 18th century, research was resumed in 2008 by Florin Gogâltan and Victor Sava, revealing details about the buildings and defense systems discovered.
This paper presents a 3D reconstruction of the fortification with the help of virtual reality technologies starting from the mentioned research. The purpose of the work is mainly educational and aims to promote the cultural heritage, offering the opportunity to explore the fortification in an immersive way.
