- Abstract:
- The pier of San Cataldo (Le), located along the Adriatic coast about 10 Km from the ancient city of Lupiae, is the best preserved port structure of the Roman Age in Apulia. An initial survey, conducted between 2004 and 2007 by the Laboratory of Topography and Photogrammetry of University of Salento, allowed a direct analysis of the remains and the elaboration of a detailed survey of the visible portion on the mainland. Since 2013, the structure has been the subject of an excavation campaign: a further portion of the pier about 20 m longer was discovered at the end on the mainland, and, the underwater remains were revealed for a linear length of about 70 m. The use of aerial photography was very helpful for archieving the expected result of the exhaustive and complete research: the creation of a photogrammetric survey and the realization of a 3D Image-Based model for a through understanding of the monument
