Sanluri 1400
Virtual recreation of the fortified town of Sanluri in Sardinia during 1400 AD.
The 3D virtual recreation project of the fortified town of Sanluri in Sardinia circa 1400 AD is an ambitious endeavour that combines history, archaeology and technology to revive a crucial period in the history of this Sardinian town.
The first phase of the project involved the review of historical texts, old cartography and records to understand the original layout of the town in the 15th century, allowing for an accurate reconstruction of the topography and architecture of Sanluri at that time. This was followed by sketching, the creation of the main buildings, fortification and housing layout, culminating in the rendering process.
The Sanluri virtual recreation project offers a window into the past, allowing visitors to explore and understand life in a fortified town in the 15th century. This initiative represents an impressive fusion of history, archaeology and technology, shedding light on Sanluri’s past in an engaging and educational way.
State-of-the-art 3D modelling tools were used to meticulously recreate the city walls, towers, streets, houses, as well as the main buildings such as churches, the castle and other architectural elements of the city.
Special attention was paid to detail, from the texture of the stones of the walls to the decoration of the structures. In addition, orographic elements such as mountains, a pond, crop fields, various paths and vegetation of the period have been recreated.
