The Challenge of Preserving a Thousand-Year Heritage
In the heart of Jumilla, the Stela de los Jinetes, an Iberian funerary monument from the 5th century BC, stood as a silent witness to the passage of time. However, the ravages of the centuries threatened to erase its history forever. The Jerónimo Molina Archaeological Museum of Jumilla, custodian of this treasure, was looking for a solution that would guarantee its preservation and allow it to share its legacy with the world.
3D Scanning: An Innovative Solution
The answer came in the form of a partnership between the museum, the Jumilla City Council and RealtoDigital, experts in 3D heritage digitization. With cutting-edge technology and a deep respect for history, they embarked on a mission to capture every detail of the stele, every curve and every crack, to create a perfect digital replica.
The 3D Scanning Process: A Meticulous Job
El proceso fue un ballet de precisión y pasión. Escáneres 3D de alta resolución y técnicas de fotogrametría de objetos se combinaron para crear un modelo tridimensional exacto y detallado. Cada paso se dio con sumo cuidado, asegurando que la esencia de la estela se conservara en su forma digital.

The Impact of 3D Digitization on Heritage
3D scanning not only preserved the Horsemen's Stela, but also made it accessible to a global audience. Immersive virtual tours, interactive exhibits and educational resources allowed people of all ages and locations to connect with this Iberian treasure. The story of the stele, once hidden in the silence of stone, was now told in the universal language of technology.
