Virtual reality is changing the way tourists interact with cathedrals in Spain, in places such as Cádiz, Astorga, Ávila and Jaén, as well as the Basilica of San Juan de Dios in Granada.
With these glasses, you can travel inside these iconic structures and witness in-depth details not visible from the ground: vaults, paintings, windows, and sculptures near the buildings' ceilings.

The idea came about during the Covid pandemic, from when we were all stuck at home and we were thinking what we could do to make these visits better and come to people's homes. So we really had to work on the virtual element.
Together with Spanish bishops, the company ArtiSplendore developed a form of virtual reality to compliment people's visit to sacred places throughout the country.
FRANCISCO MOYA
CEO, ArtiSplendore
We don't intend in any way to replace a visit to these places. The best experience one can have to get to know a monument or cultural space is by visiting it.
The idea is to give these places a service that can reach the people who visit them and that make the experience of walking through the monument very close, very personal, and seen from different points of view.
One of the goals of the projects is to provide greater exposure to monasteries, churches, and cathedrals, so that visitors can have a unique experience in these sacred places aided by new technologies.
FRANCISCO MOYA
CEO, ArtiSplendore
These spaces are singular, unique, extraordinary, where a powerful history is present, where there is impressive architecture and works of art that are either explained in the best way possible or become difficult to understand for tourists, who do not reach the goal of visiting a place, which is coming closer to its reality.
ArtiSplendore has worked with more than 50 cultural spaces in Spain and Italian visited by more than 3 million tourists each year. Its goal is to create the best tourist experience through their innovation.
