Creation of an immersive experience of Qalaat Seman Monastery (Saint Symeon the Stylite) in Syria. Built in the 6th century, it housed the column of Saint Symeon, who lived at its summit for 40 years of his life. The monastery underwent multiple modifications before suffering significant damages during the Syrian war in 2018. This experience allows visitors to walk through all of the monastery's facilities, in virtual reality. It was carried out on behalf of the labex Les Passés dans le Présent (University of Nanterre) and in partnership with the National Archeology Museum.
