Summary

A 3D virtual reconstruction of the lost Church of Pammegist Taxiarch Michael, once a prominent monument in Corfu's medieval 'Campiello' district, offers unprecedented insight into its architectural and historical significance. This interdisciplinary approach integrates data from in-situ research, archives, and bibliography to recreate the 14th-century structure, which was demolished during World War II bombings. The reconstruction not only aids archaeological, architectural, and art history research but also serves as a tool for cultural engagement, fostering dialogue and sustainability within Corfu's UNESCO-listed Old Town. By bridging past and present, this method enhances the understanding and preservation of tangible heritage, providing transformative potential for local communities in challenging times.
