The research group Land Laboratory (LaboraTe) of the University
of Santiago de Compostela (USC) has delivered to the Lugo City Council
the first three-dimensional reproduction of the Roman Walls of Lugo,
a monument declared World Heritage Site in year 2000 by UNESCO.
During the years 2008, 2009 and 2010, the LaboraTe research
group did two topological surveys of this monument for the
Archaeological Service of the city of Lugo. These surveys
fill an important gap of information about the Roman walls,
since the only available information before were partial,
no-referenced studies which were impossible to integrate
with other studies or the existing cartography of the city.
