Abstract *

<p>This study focuses on the digital depiction of the storyline of the Monastery of Brontochion of Mystras, located at the southwest edge of the city of Mystras, situated at the foot of Mt. Taygetos, six kilometres west of the city of Sparta in the Peloponnese Greece. The Monastery initially included the church of Hagioi Theodoroi founded by Pachomios, the enterprising abbot of Mystras, and built sometime before 1296. Twenty years later a second instalment to the Monastery was added by Pachomios. The Church of Panagia Hodegetria (“Aphentiko”) was built as a prestigious temple to commemorate “the Renaissance” of the Palaiologos dynasty.</p> <p>The overall study of the history of Mystras has been under development including a digital depiction of the different phases of the city providing a visualization and projection of archaeological data concerning the area of the Byzantine city. The digital recreation of the Monastery, part of this overall study, is implemented using modern spatial technologies, an unmanned aerial system (UAS) for documenting the area, a high accuracy GPS GNSS reciever, control points for georeferencing the drone images and a high resolution DSLR camera for documenting the buildings. Photogrammetry is applied to create the orthophoto of the study area, which works as the basemap for the subsequent analysis via GIS, as well as for the generation of the 3D models of the buildings of the Monastery. The final product is a visualization of the archaeological site and its evolution from the foundation of the Monastery to the present.</p>
