Abstract
This study is a cross-disciplinary research carried out by archaeologists, engineers and architects aimed at the knowledge and enhancement of the San Giovanni catacombs complex in Syracuse. The study uses the most innovative 3D surveying and virtual reproduction technologies and methodologies in order to broaden the understanding of the archaeological site’s most peculiar features. The digital 3D models of the rooms studied here can be used to enhance the visiting experience and the online presence of the archaeological complex.
