Technology and heritage go hand in hand

The story of the Roman legacy in the lands of Sicó is told with a focus on using technology to ensure a dynamic experience for visitors. In this space, we have several themed areas where technology and material heritage coexist, where we can find various types of multimedia equipment and applications.
