“…Therefore, the process of creating a visualization is done in terms of tools and materials modified from digital 3D modeling approaches used in architecture. According to Schoueri and Ferreira [22], realistic foundations should underlie the building and its surroundings. The archaeological structures are frequently complex and made up of both old and new constructions in varying stages of development.…”

“…Visual reconstructions of archaeological sites and materials have been around since before the formal construction of archaeology as a discipline itself. However, there has been an expansion of the methods of reconstructing and representing the past in recent decades due to the use of digital technology [22]. The 3D modeling of archaeological sites and artifacts can generate aesthetically pleasing visualizations; nevertheless, considerations of scientific accuracy, ethics, and educational value are needed.…”

Modern heritage protection goes beyond the mere protection of individual buildings and objects. Modern technologies and techniques of field data capture and visual (3D) presentations are increasingly penetrating this field and are becoming more and more essential and necessary for archives, cadastres, and users and visitors of museums, exhibitions, collections, and archaeological parks. In the area between Kotlje and Ravne na Koroškem, Slovenia, in 1476–1477, 9 to 10 anti-Turkish fortifications, called Turške Šance, reportedly were erected. The remains were left to decay slowly. This paper highlights the possibility of applying interdisciplinary data capture and 3D visualization techniques that are used in the fields of civil engineering and architecture for digital reconstruction of the anti-Turkish fortification as a case study in order to present them in the most contemporary way and emphasize them on a local, regional, national, and international level. Unfortunately, similar remains elsewhere in Europe are primarily ignored (with some notable exceptions). The digital reconstruction of anti-Turkish watchtowers therefore represented an extended reconstruction to revive that part of the historical heritage of Slovenia using the proposed techniques.
