Abstract

This paper presents the results of scientific investigations carried out at the Batia Church which is located in the small village of Tortorici (Messina, Sicily, Italy). We performed several geophysical surveys, as well as geomatics approaches, were used in order to reconstruct 2D and 3D digital models of the monument mainly using digital photogrammetry. Previous geophysical investigations have shown the presence of a crypt which was ultimately surveyed and digitally reconstructed. Here, we present the potential of valorizing the site and its underground structures by the means of advanced technologies and digital reconstructions.
