The hermitages of Castelló in a “click”

Dear visitor,

 

You have just immersed in space for reflection. Take your time to make a complete tour of all the hermitages of Castelló, a unique and remarkable historical-artistic heritage on the route of El Caminàs, an old road that has its roots even before the arrival of the Romans to these lands. A great axis of communication used by Romans, Muslims and later Christians. It would be in the Christian period when a variety of hermitages were built, which we invite you to visit today.

This website with virtual reality allows you to take a tour of the rural heritage of the Caminàs hermitages using the latest developments in 3D technology applied to tourist and historical use. Thus, you can visit nine temples of the municipality, eight located in rural areas and one is in the city. The company NUXOT, created in 2014 and specialized in architectural visualization services based on the latest technologies in the market, has been in charge of scanning each space with Matterport and Faro Focus, generating interactive point clouds for Virtual Tours 360- Flythrough.

Historical accuracy

The tour also gives the opportunity to mark points of interest, which include the main features of the monument, to make the visit as complete as possible. Dates, information of interest, artistic description, decorative art, artists’ corner, links to the MUCC and a lot of additional information.
