Abstract

Italian architecture in the Dodecanese is the result of thirty-one years of Italian rule and is an important and special part of the cultural heritage of the region. The departure of the Italians bequeathed to the islands their rich architectural work, most of which is located in Rhodes, Kos and Leros that were serving as headquarters for the Italians.

Today Italian monuments are an important part of the cultural heritage of the islands, and a valuable asset for their tourism industry, as they provide a unique blend of history and architecture that attracts tourists and contributes to local and cultural development and promotion.

The possibilities of utilizing new technologies could be an important element for the upgrading and promotion of the islands, and especially of Leros, which is the case study of this project.
