The Virtual Tour of the Acropolis monuments is a web application that allows the exploration of the archaeological site in an interactive way.

The Virtual Tour of the Acropolis monuments consists of high-resolution gigapixel images and panoramas of the most prominent monuments - the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike - as well as detailed photographic displays of selected views from the outer surface of the ancient walls surrounding the hill. Each view is complemented with descriptive information about the monuments and selected areas of interest.

An orthophoto map of the site's area facilitates orientation and navigation of the visitor to each viewpoint. The images allow detailed zooming onto the architectural features of the monuments, which are otherwise difficult to experience during an onsite visit. Visitors can comprehend the location of the monuments in relation to its surroundings or even to realize a virtual "walk" through the site by selecting at will their own successive viewpoints.

CONTRIBUTORS

The application is an initiative of the Acropolis Restoration Service (YSMA) and comprises an upgrade from a previous version with a focus on extending the app's functionality to both stationary and portable devices. The decision to adopt "state of the art" technological solutions to "bring online" the entirety of the archaeological site is not merely a statement for the preservation work undertaken by the institution, but also a great contribution to the institution's mission to promote access to cultural heritage. Enhanced visual access may be used as a starting point for interested parties and potential visitors to get to know the monuments, but also as a scientific or educational tool to enable research in various disciplines.

The application has been created through the collaboration of the Documentation Office of YSMA with Culturplay that specializes in the provision of digital media solutions and interarctive tools for the cultural heritage domain.

The following people worked for this application:
YSMA - Project supervision, Content management: E. Lempidaki, I. Alexopoulos, M. Katsianis, K. Koutsadelis, D. Mavromati, E.Petropoulou

Culturplay - Project production

Design, Programming, Image Processing: A. Giannakidis

Panoramic Photography: G. Gerogiannis

Technology Consultant: A. Skorjanc

Programming: Y. Stergiou, G. Giakoumidakis, G. Papadakis

Typography: A. Mouriadou, E. Bountouraki

Production Support: L. Mantzourani

PRODUCTION DETAILS

The production of panoramic photomosaics at resolutions of several gigapixels was realised between 2010 and 2014 by employing established practices of digital image acquisition and processing.

In order to achieve the best possible mapping of natural lighting on the monuments together with the display of shaded details, High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging techniques were used for capturing and combining different exposure levels of the same theme.

Starting from the RAW photos all the way up to the combined and color-corrected finalised panoramas, all intermediate outputs were maintained in order to be able to reproduce and control the entire manufacturing process for future reference.

The krpano viewer and revelant tools are used for the display of the panoramic images within the application. Techniques to minimize the optical deformation of the monuments were applied during the construction of the photomosaics and are also used for their rendering within the application.

Particular emphasis was also placed on the typographic formatting of all textual information included, especially with respect to its effective adaptation to different screen sizes. Moreover, a series of interface controls were developed to facilitate user navigation tasks on touch screens.

The contents of the application are stored in a Content Delivery Network that significantly accelerates data serving to end-users.

The village Kastri before the beginning of the excavations

At the foot of Mount Parnassos, within the angle formed by the twin rocks of the Phaedriades, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, which had the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi was regarded as the centre of the world. According to mythology, it is here that the two eagles sent out by Zeus from the ends of the universe to find the navel of the world met. The sanctuary of Delphi, set within a most spectacular landscape, was for many centuries the cultural and religious centre and symbol of unity for the Hellenic world. The history of Delphi begins in prehistory and in the myths of the ancient Greeks. In the beginning the site was sacred to Mother Earth and was guarded by the terrible serpent Python, who was later killed by Apollo. Apollo's sanctuary was built here by Cretans who arrived at Kirrha, the port of Delphi, accompanied by the god in the form of a dolphin. This myth survived in plays presented during the various Delphic festivals, such as the Septerion, the Delphinia, the Thargelia, the Theophania and, of course. the famous Pythia, which celebrated the death of Python and comprised musical and athletic competitions.

The earliest finds in the area of Delphi, which date to the Neolithic period (4000 BC), come from the Korykeion Andron, a cave on Parnassos, where the first rituals took place. The remains of a Mycenaean settlement and cemetery were discovered within the sanctuary, but traces of occupation are rare and very fragmentary until the eighth century BC, when the cult of Apollo was established and the development of the sanctuary and the oracle began. The first stone temples of Apollo and Athena, who was also officially venerated under the name of "Pronaia" or "Pronoia" and had her own sanctuary, were built towards the end of the seventh century BC. According to literary and archaeological evidence other gods were associated with the sanctuary; these included Artemis, Poseidon, Dionysus, Hermes, Zeus Polieus, Hygeia and Eileithyia.

The sanctuary was the centre of the Amphictyonic League, an association of twelve tribes of Thessaly and the Sterea (south-central Greece), with religious and later political significance. The Amphictyonic League controlled the operation and finances of the sanctuary, as it designated its priests and other officials chosen from among the inhabitants of Delphi. In the sixth century BC, under the League's protection and administration, the sanctuary was made autonomous (First Sacred War), it increased its territory and political and religious influence throughout Greece, and reorganised the Pythian Games, the second most important games in Greece after the Olympics, which were held every four years.

Between the sixth and fourth centuries BC, the Delphic oracle, which was regarded as the most trustworthy, was at its peak. It was delivered by the Pythia, the priestess, and interpreted by the priests of Apollo. Cities, rulers and ordinary individuals alike consulted the oracle, expressing their gratitude with great gifts and spreading its fame around the world. The oracle was thought to have existed since the dawn of time. Indeed, it was believed to have successfully predicted events related to the cataclysm of Deukalion, the Argonaut's expedition and the Trojan War; more certain are the consultations over the founding of the Greek colonies. It was the oracle's fame and prestige that caused two Sacred Wars in the middle of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. In the third century BC, the sanctuary was conquered by the Aetolians, who were driven out by the Romans in 191 BC. In Roman times, the sanctuary was favoured by some emperors and plundered by others, including Sulla in 86 BC.

The rise of the Rationalist movement in philosophy in the third century BC, damaged the oracle's authority, yet its rituals continued unchanged into the second century AD, when it was consulted by Hadrian and visited by Pausanias. The latter's detailed description of the buildings and more than three hundred statues has greatly contributed to our reconstruction of the area. The Byzantine emperor Theodosius finally abolished the oracle and the Slavs destroyed the precinct in 394 BC. With the advent of Christianity, Delphi became an episcopal see, but was abandoned in the sixth-seventh centuries AD. Soon after, in the seventh century AD, a new village, Kastri, grew over the ruins of the ancient sanctuary, attracting in modern times several travellers interested in antiquities.

Archaeological research in Delphi began in 1860 by Germans. In 1891, the Greek government granted the French School at Athens permission for long-term excavations on the site. It is then that the village of Kastri was removed to allow for the so-called "Great Excavation' to take place. The Great Excavation uncovered spectacular remains, including about three thousand inscriptions of great importance for our knowledge of public life in ancient Greece. Today, the Greek Archaeological Service and the French School at Athens continue to research, excavate and conserve the two Delphic sanctuaries. Of all the monuments, only the Treasury of the Athenians had enough of its original building material preserved to allow for its almost complete reconstruction. The project was financed by the City of Athens and carried through by the French School in 1903-1906. The Chiot altar, the temple of Apollo and the Tholos were also partially restored. In 1927 and 1930, the poet Angelos Sikelianos and his wife, Eva, attempted to revive the Delphic idea and make of Delphi a new cultural centre of the earth, through a series of events that included performances of ancient theatre.

Discovering Athens and trying to understand the roots of democracy is no easy task. We tried to understand what linked these beautifully esecuted  buldings, such as the Parthenon and the remainings on the Acropolis, to the people of the time and their needs in terms of politics and governament. We walked down the path the notorious philophers of the past walked: the peripatum. This was like  travelling back in time, seeing the world with different eyes and exploring 2500 years of history, our history. What we learned today was that the Parthenon's name comes from  Atena Parthenos, the goddes of the city. Thanks to the Acropolis Athens was able to obtain  the title of "Capital of theatre, philosophy and politics".
We must keep in mind that democracy is a gift we must preserve at all costs, we fought to obtain it and it is something you do everyday, everytime you make a decision.

Athens is a huge city, characterized by centuries and centuries of history, efforts of millions of men who wanted to contribute by leaving their mark.
In the first floor room of the Parliament, a continuous frieze depicts the war of independence of 1830 from the Ottomans: panels that each show a passage of this long process.
Nothing comes from nothing, in everything you have to commit yourself and fight: Greece has gathered all its strength to resurrect, not being afraid to ask for help from Europe, fighting to the end driven by a strong nationalist sentiment, being the first to obtain the much sought-after independence.

Delphi was an unexpected surprise because we had not anticipated at all the scenario that was presented to us. It is a mystical place and it felt like it still has a bit of magic left from the time of ancient Greece.
What interested us the most is the collection  of statues of the ellenistic period that were exposed in the museum of Delphi. It  is one of the  most important museum of Greece, where a lot of precious ancient statues are kept.
Our favourite statute  must  be the Auriga of Delphi.  The guide  explained  its relevance in a way it will always be remembered by us.
It is an original bronze sculpture made  with lost wax casting technique. We loved the small hidden  details such as those of the eyes, the eyelashes and hair. The whole statue in its integrity was magnificent and  mesmerizing to look at.

Walking at the foot of Mt. Parnassus where Delphi, the Bellybutton of the Ancient World lies, is an incredible emotion. In Greek mythology, it is said that Zeus once released two eagles: one to the east and one to the west. The two eagles met at the center of the world, named “Delphi”, which means “bellybutton”.

Here it is located the temple of Apollo: it was erected with the tenth of the booty obtained with the famous battle of Marathon, fought in 490 B.C.

To arrive there, we’ve walked along the Sacred Way and what impressed us the most was that ancient Athenians walked there too. Plus, looking at the ruins, we were able to feel the ancient Greeks’ emotions!

The lesson at the University was very interesting because we got to know the way the greek universities work. It was so refreshing to know that the student's voices matter and that they can change the school bit by bit. In order to do that we need to work together, we need to be one strong voice that can oppose when something is wrong while still being responsible and polite.
The fact that students can say what they think and can evaluate teachers is more than fair. The school should not only be unilater, but it should be a two way street. We would love to have this type of evaluation in Italy as well and we're hoping they'll implement it in the near future.

Today was a nice day to refresh some of the concepts that we studied previously in school. We were able to compare storically and artistically two different ways to embody democracy. This shows the differences with the past in comparison with our future but it also highlights how democracy is not something that needs to be followed like a rule. Democracy means freedom, both to act and to rearrange a society. It is vital to know that we can be different and still live freely, still practice democracy as active citizens. The confrontation with the past is always necessary in order to evolve as people but also as a nation.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, we have had the opportunity to discuss about democracy and make a comparison between the democracy in Athens and in Rome. For us, democracy is freedom, equality, dialogue and responsibility.
There is not a better democracy: each one has its own unique features. However, what links all of them is people and their right to have their opinion considered. If this is granted, then citizens are free to live peacefully and in balance. And actually, this is what we look for in our life!

Caryatid - Agata, Chiara, Sara, Virginia

# data[].attributes.body
The Caryatid is made of marble and it comes from the temple of Erechtheion of Athens. The statue represents a girl from Sparta who was brought to Athens in order to celebrate democracy because of her beauty (like a model of our days). It represents a female figure which used to support the architrave of the temple, like a column or a pillar (in fact she has a capital on her head). Her figure is symmetrical, tall, slim, balanced and well-proportioned. She interprets the ideal of female beauty in ancient Greece. She is dressed, unlike the male statues of the time, and this reflects the social difference between men and women.
The statue is realised with great attention to details: she has curly and braided hair, her dress is well decorated with a perfect drapery, which falls perpendicular to the feet and makes the woman look even slimmer.
She has broken arms and it seems that she is staring at something in front of her.

After yesterday's activity, we have learnt the importance of the right to vote.
It is essential to exercise this right. It's a "use it or lose it", just like an athlete's muscles.
The right to vote is not to be taken for granted, because it has been earned through centuries of struggles, protests and riots. Many people have given their lives for this right, for themselves, for us and our descendants.
Keeping this in mind, we have to exercise this right, from smaller situations (for instance, during school assemblies or students' evaluations) to the most important ones (such as voting in local and national elections).

Some words about democracy:
Freedom, equality, rights, people, assembly, education, have the possibility to express your opinions, protest, raise your voice in case you want to change something, RESPONSIBILITY.

Athens or Rome democracy?
We'd like to live in Athens democracy because we think that it best expresses the entire population due to the only one assembly that there was. In addition, it was a direct democracy, so everyone could directly express his own opinion without passing through a representative. In fact, we shouldn't always trust them because maybe they might change their mind and act as they want, forgetting the desires and the needs of the population.

For those reasons we prefer the direct democracy and we think that the e-democracy can be a good way, a good solution for the elections: for example, it can be more useful for old or disable people, there won’t be too many cars around (so less pollution) and so on.

Once we arrived to the theater we watched a short summary video that explained the story of the Antigone.
We then went outside and, under the supervision of an expert, we started to put in scene what we previously saw.
This allowed us to better understand the play since we experienced directly the plot and we felt part of it.
In particular our attention has been addressed to the conflict between a man, Creonte, and a strong and independent woman, Antigone.

The theatre is a valid alternative to express your opinion, to communicate and to make a criticism, positive or negative, about one’s own form of government. The Antigone, a tragedy that we ourselves tried to stage, is a striking example of this, in fact, as the main theme there is the struggle to acquire power.
We have made our own the lines of the characters of this tragedy trying to identify themselves in their positions, using the theater as a tool to fully understand the roots of democracy, in fact only within this form of government is it possible to stage tragedies that criticize the same.
It was very fun and formative to try out this new cultural field, that of theater.

Today, in the morning, we had a drama lesson with a theatre expert. We learned about the story of Antigone and then we put on show some scenes of the drama. After that we took the bus to Meteora. There are seven monasteries built as fortresses on top of huge rock blocks. It's a stunning view, with these massive blocks in the middle of a green plain. We had to use some stairs to go up there but it was absolutely worth it. After that we had lunch in Kalambaka and our journey finished.

It was amazing!

Visiting the monasteries of St. Stephen and Gran Meteora was a stunning, marvelous experience. Even without these sacred sites, the natural landscape is already exceptional, almost out of this world, "suspended on air", as the name of Meteora says.
These holy monasteries are places where everyone, not just believers, can feel the connection with the deepes spiritual components of the soul. This happens through contemplation of beauty, both natural (in the bright gardens of the monasteries) and artistic (the majestic and colourful decorations inside the churches).

Questions for interviewing the mayor of Trikala

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The mosque of Osman Sah or Kursum Tzami, is located just some meters away from the Tsitsanis Museum. It is a unique monument as it is the only mosque of Trikala and has been declared a World Heritage monument by UNESCO.

The structure dates from the 16th century, and more specifically the period when Trikala was under the rule of Osman Sah. The mosque was designed by Koca Mimar Sinan, a very famous architect of that time. Visitors are impressed with the dimensions of the building since it has a diameter of 18 meters and its height is 22 meters, while it was built in such a way that offers to the mosque perfect acoustics.

South of the mosque is situated the "tourbes" (mausoleum) of Osman Sah, an octagonal building with a dome, that hosts today the archaeological findings of several excavations around Trikala.

Kursum Tzami is open for visitors and hosts events appropriate for the building, such as art installations and speeches.

Archaeological Documentary / Duration 30'10"

​

The history of the city of Trikala during the Ottoman reign is reflected in buildings, such as the restored Ottoman twin bath. Of the three baths recorded in Trikala in the 17th century, only one is referred to as a double bath, used by both men and women at the same time. Travellers refer to it as the "Osman Shah Bey Hammam", as it belonged to the complex founded by the Ottoman governor of the Trikala Sandzak. Its construction dates back to the mid-16th century at about the same time as the neighbouring mosque, designed by the renowned architect Sinan.

In the end of the 19th century the bath was converted to a two storey construction in order to house the central building of the city's prison which operated there until 2006. The Ottoman bath was unveiled only in 2011 during trial trenches in the ground level of the building.

The film, incorporating pictures and interviews, relates the building's history as well as the timeline of the monument's unveiling.

This morning, just before lunch, we visited the Koursoum mosque in Trikala.

This building is closely linked to the theme of democracy, because it is precisely within the climate created, over time, by this form of government that the expression of different religious forms is possible. We have learned that what counts is mutual respect between diversity and that none of these impose itself strongly on the others.

The bathtubs used by the Ottomans also caught our attention: a very interesting thing is that these bathtubs could be used not only by Muslims but also once a week by Christians, Jews and so on for personal hygiene reasons.

Today, this splendid building in Trikala hosts wonderful art exhibitions, therefore still strongly linked to the theme of culture.

Democracy at school & e-democracy - Beatrice, Valentina, Martina, Benedetta

# data[].attributes.body
The place where we stay the most, our second home, is the school where we should feel free to express our opinion. But is it really a democracy? That’s what we discussed about through an online debate: while it would be nice to have democracy at school as both students and teachers feel more involved and bring new and different ideas, it is important to maintain a certain hierarchy as teachers are educators and can take decisions on their own in a shorter time.

Without any shame talking in front of people, all these impressions were written in a platform.

Nowadays, in fact, electronic tools are important for democracy: we have made a mind map to talk about e-democracy. Thanks to it, everyday we can make our voice heard and participate more actively.

On Monday, after having prepared the questions for the mayor, we went to visit the Municipality.
Unfortunately because of an unexpected commitment we didn’t have the opportunity to speak directly with him.
For this reason we were received by the head of the Trikala Press Office who introduced us to the most innovative features of the city and explained how the concept of democracy can be applied to Trikala.
He then reported and explained us the answers previously provided by the mayor, deepening the aspects we were most interested in and explaining the points we didn’t get at first.
Listening to the description of this “smart” city and learning about Trikala’s innovations was very engaging for us.
We in fact discovered some initiatives such as the use of drones for delivery medicine and the circulation control systems that could be also carried successfully in our city.

Democracy at school and e-democracy - Agata, Chiara, Sara, Virginia

# data[].attributes.body
The school has evolved over the years, it has transformed and has now become a democratic institution.
Democracy in the school environment is now on the agenda, but this can have both pros and cons within pupils'life: first of all, it allows students to express their opinions freely, without feeling judged. Obviously, however, they must be respectful of the people with whom they relate. In addition, thanks to democracy, students can feel more comfortable during their stay in classrooms.
At the same time, this type of institution entails much longer decision-making times, due to the necessary involvement of everyone, and finally it could induce students to engage in abusive behavior because of their freedom.
Finally, we discussed the theme of e-democracy, a new form of online democracy that allows everyone to express their vote and their participation in political life more easily. Also, e-democracy respects nature, because it allows paper savings and the reduction of air pollution; at the same time, however, this method may not be available to everyone, especially the less well-off, because of digital gaps and economic inequality.

We went to the City Hall to interview the mayor, but the experience we actually had turned out to be quite unexpected. In fact, we didn't meet the mayor himself, but the head of the press office of the city hall.
During the morning, we had an interesting insight to adopt the point of view of politicans, who play a key role in democracy because of their decision to commit to their office in order to serve the community.
Democratic institutions have a crucial importance especially for public officers, so they should be the most active protectors of our democracy from all threats. However, every single citizen should fight for democracy, otherwise these institutions are powerless.
The speaker introduces us to many of the projects of this city, which are surpisingly innovative: self-driving buses, free open Wi-Fi everywhere in town, drones delivering medicines to eldery people and many more.
Overall, in our opinion this experience was eye-opening, also thanks to the reflections about social media, which can be a democratic tool to effectively involve citizens in public participation but also represent a hidden danger.

Today, we visited part of Trikala and, in particular, we saw the Ottoman Mosque that takes place in the middle of the city.

It was built during 16th century and, out of the many mosques Trikala had, it is the only one remained. In the past it was one of the most relevant places for Muslims of Trikala while nowadays, it has lost it’s religious purpose. In fact it’s now used as a cultural point for events and meetings.

When we entered inside there was an exhibition of works of art made by local children. Among all of the drawings, one of them caught our attention, for its colours and details: it was a copy of the Starry Night by Van Gogh.

In particular, we appreciated the technique used since the painting was made by combining pieces of paper instead of using traditional paint.

In addition, we imagined the time spent by the children in order to crate such a intriguing representation.

On Sunday we had the opportunity to visit the city of Trikala, discovering interesting places like the ex-mosque of the city, now an art exposition, where we could find paintings and works made by the children of the city. They were  very cute and some made us smile for the way they were represented. We also visited the Research Center-Tsitsani museum, where the guide explained to us the story of the building and told us about the works in the museum made by Trikala's citizens. The paintings were stunning, breathtaking and mesmerizing. We loved every  single one of them, we took so many pictures our phone almost exploded!

On monday we went to the city Hall where we met the head of the press office who replaced the mayor on this occasion. Through a brief presentations he explained to us what will be the future projects of the city. He also answered some questions that we asked previously for an interview with the mayor. He explained to us the strengths of the city, the innovation and modernity that make Trikala one of the most cutting-edge cities in Greece and Europe. The most famous and renowned projects are drones, driverless buses and public bikes. In the evening we had some fun playing a football game with the spanish guys and the teachers. So many players  fell to the ground  because they were tired and the italian girls cheered for the players.

On Tuesday we went to school to talk about e-democracy, which is a modern type of democracy that includes technology and virtual innovation. We were divided in groups and we had to find pros and cons of this type of democracy and the confrontation between others. Even though our team  had some technical difficulties at first, we were able to produce a work we were happy with. We truly enjoyed the activity of research  and writing. We had fun together while learning something unknown to us. We think these are the activities that will entertain and form the most. Thanks for this opportunity  we adored it.
