Summary/Abstract: World Heritage sites are an invaluable asset for mankind. Some vernacular settlements with Outstanding Universal Value, worth being visited, are not easily accessible. Through the use of new technologies and digital tools, citizens have the opportunity to virtually visit and explore these sites, to become aware of the richness of each place, of its features, and the way the inhabitants live in these places. The 3DPast project was designed aiming at enlightening the European vernacular World Heritage, to bring citizens to experience this unknown heritage, and to discover the ‘spirit of place’ and this noteworthy heritage still existing in Europe.
