Read full description

OnHistory is an app that transforms a moment, a visit to a monument or a museum into an extraordinary experience! All monuments, historical moments or museum exhibits can come to life and even talk to the visitor! Besides giving life to the History of a place, OnHistory is also a powerful communication tool as it enables visitors anywhere to access their news and specific information about events, temporary or permanent expositions, touristic attractions, etc. How would these antique vases look like when they were in their original condition, the swords unbroken, the complete statue which only has a torso left? How much was the old currency worth? How were the utensils used? How was the famous historical character that made it possible…? With OnHistory, each person can see and hear about exactly as it happened, through an immersive and educational experience. You can also share these extraordinary experiences with Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Vine, etc. In Addition, the extraordinary experience does not end when we leave the interior of a place – the treasure hunt continues outside as well! You can explore the entire territory, its monuments and other points of interest through pre-defined routes and even travel through time and find out how did the town’s streets and buildings used to look like back in those days. In this version you can visit already: the Celtic and Iberian Route, the Roman Route, the Al-Andalus Route, the Templar Route, the 1383 – 85 Revolution Route, the Magellan 500 Years Route the World War One Route.
