Achievements (EN):

This project received funding under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Interreg-IPA CBC Croatia-Bosnia and Herzegovina-Montenegro programme during the 2014-2020 period. It aimed to develop and promote the tourism potential of historical fortifications in the cross-border area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Adriatic Croatia and Montenegro. It involved applying innovative approaches to showcasing digital content about cultural and historical heritage, with the aim of placing the fortresses on Europe’s cultural map and promoting tourism in the area. The four historical fortresses concerned were St Michael’s, Klis, Vranduk, and Kanli Kula. One of the main achievements of the project was to create a ‘Fortress Reality Window’ at each site, in the form of a touchscreen with an application that allows visitors to take a tour of the other three fortresses using live-streaming technology. The project also involved the installation of state-of-the-art audio guides and digital touchscreen kiosks, displaying information on the four different fortresses. A further element of the project concerned the training of 120 participants on the management and maintenance of heritage sites. The training and knowledge-sharing opportunities aimed to create sustainable and responsible tourism management of historical fortification monuments. With its cross-border approach, the project aims to stimulate growth and harmonised development of cultural tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro, opening up opportunities for collaboration and joint cultural events.
