The enterprise 3DStoa Patrimonio, the company that conducted the technical work of virtualising the archaeological site and museum pieces, presented the work conducted during this last year, accessible at https://sonfornes.com/. The main feature of the project is how by means of using digital and advanced technology tools, the knowledge of the archaeological site is made available to all publics (from everywhere in the world as well to people with disabilities), promoting the dissemination of knowledge and increasing the interest in visiting the archaeological site and museum, and thus the region of Pla de Mallorca.
