SC Portico of Glory vs Gaiás Cidade da Cultura Usage & Stats

The restoration of the Portico of Glory, which took place between 2006 and 2018, has been one of the most ambitious, lengthy and complex projects that the Fundación Barrié has faced in recent years. The ultimate objective has been to promote the concept that “the best conservation strategy is education” and to work to raise society’s awareness of the fact that conserving heritage has to be a shared responsibility. Hence, the Fundación Barrié is continuing to work on disseminating this project, using the most innovative tools available such as the gigapixel image shown here. For the first time, this makes it possible to explore details in the monument that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
