The Representation of Portuguese Eclectic Architecture

Technological evolution makes it possible to identify methods of investigation and information management for the knowledge and valorisation of cultural heritage. This contribution proposes the study of the Monserrate Palace, a 19th century eclectic artefact located in the Portuguese city of Sintra. In order to obtain a complete documentation of the current state of the property, SfM, terrestrial and aerial photogrammetric survey campaigns were carried out, aimed at collecting digital information which, subsequently processed, allowed the generation of highly detailed three-dimensional models. The latter, in addition to facilitating the formal and constructive analysis of the site as well as the rich and peculiar decorative apparatus, represent the basis for the possible creation of a virtual narrative capable of allowing all the users who, since the post-pandemic period, have approached virtual tourism to learn about the memory of the places.
