IKON for UNESCO: Portovenere, Cinque Terre and the Islands in a Virtual Tour
Thanks to IKON’s technology, it is now possible to explore the wonders of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Portovenere, Cinque Terre, and the Islands — all from the comfort of home!
Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997, this site is recognized for its outstanding cultural and natural significance.
The union of Portovenere, the Cinque Terre, and the Islands (Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto) forms a cultural landscape that reflects a traditional way of life. The layout and design of its towns embody the history of human settlement in the area, which has lasted for over a millennium.
The Virtual Tour was created to tell the story of the site in an engaging and interactive way, making it easy to understand both geographically (extent, location, accessibility, settlements, etc.) and culturally. The experience is enriched with in-depth multimedia content accessible through interactive hotspots.
