Abstract

A cave is a mysterious place, like a split in the ground. It reverses the common perception of the reality: the mountain, associated to idea of solid, creates an empty space. This empty astonishes because it houses architectural and historical valuable sanctuary: the monumental complex of Angel’s Cave. The Cave and its branches hedge in a basilica with bizantinian frescos, some Martiryas (little chapels) with small courtyard. The integrated survey by laser scanning technologies has allowed to create a 3D data base able to document the morphometry of the San Michele Site and the surrounding landscape, in order to enhance and restore, by the Soprintendenza per i Beni Architettonici e per il Paesaggio, architectural and environmental features.
