Domus de Santiago – A view of the peristyle in its original form

Author: César Figueiredo

“The excellent status of the archaeological structures of the Domus de Santiago made it possible to propose advanced architectural viewing tests by archaeologists and the photographic record of the first excavation opened the door to creating scientific and research-based reconstitution images.
This work proposes a virtual anastylosis and subsequently the reconstitution and recreation of the ruin in its integral original form, including the digital restoration of the mosaic on the peristyle tank.”
