Hijar vs Enkarterri virtual

Aplicación oficial del Ayuntamiento de Híjar, que contiene información acerca de la historia, comercio, rutas, ayuntamiento, noticias, el tiempo y sitios de interés

“Enkarterri: a virtual reconstruction” is a mobile application for public use promoted by Enkartur, Basquetour and the Basque Government. It has been developed by Arkikus (www.arkikus.com). The virtual reconstruction included in this app aims to show how three outstanding historical sites from Enkarterri (Bizkaia, Basque Country), may have looked in the past, in an immersive and unique experience that shows, in a realistic way, ancient architecture and scenes of selected locations that are key to understand the history and evolution of the region. The three sites are the medieval town and castle of Balmaseda, and the pre-roman hillfort and the Modern Age ironworks-mill of Bolunburu. All the digital content on the mobile app has been developed based on real graphic, documentary and archaeological sources for the reconstructed spaces. Where such original documents for particular elements are no longer available, parallel architectural and/or decorative examples from the same period of time, region and style have been used to ensure the greatest possible historical accuracy. The reconstructions included show an interpretation of the historical surroundings designed in conjunction with specialists based on the information available when the app was created. Future investigations may subsequently alter these interpretations.
