The project proposes, through three test sites (Vilarinho das Furnas in Portugal; Craco in Italy and Himara in Albania), to develop a multilevel methodological-operational protocol useful in regional, national, European and non-EU contexts, aimed at spreading knowledge, regeneration, management and use of abandoned towns.

The project includes, among other things, the development of:

  • a documentation and interpretation centre on "ghost towns" related to the Euro-Mediterranean area;
  • a prototype platform for virtual reality applications to enhance the "ghost towns";
  • best practices for geo-conservation of abandoned towns.
