Starting in 2018, the PROMETHEUS H2020 project has been involved in the establishment of analysis methodologies for Cultural Heritage Routes (CHR) associated with historical architectural heritage. The project’s research activities have primarily focused on examining various itineraries, ranging from the regional scale of Russian churches in Upper Kama located in Perm (Russia), to the provincial scale encompassing sites related to James I of Aragon’s conquest in the Kingdom of Valencia (Spain), and finally to the urban scale encompassing fortifications in the city of Gdansk (Poland). Throughout the project’s duration, digital technologies have been employed and tested to create archives and information systems that aim to devise storytelling strategies for defining, representing, and promoting these routes. This endeavor involves the collaboration of more than 35 researchers from three European countries, who are implementing interdisciplinary synergistic actions to develop knowledge-driven approaches and formulate effective designs for digitally narrating intricate architectures.

The Romanesque churches dotted along the Way of Saint James are magnificent examples of cultural heritage, and their analysis from the perspective of cultural astronomy may, in an unobtrusive manner, provide information of hitherto unexplored facets of these treasures. This study aims to examine the pilgrimage road as a communication channel and to seek possible regional variations in the Christian kingdoms of Leon, Castile, Navarre and Aragon. Seen as a whole, the Romanesque churches of our sample present two main orientation patterns: towards either the ecclesiastical and astronomical equinox or to certain Easter Sunday celestial phenomena. However, equinoctial orientations are present only in Leon and Navarre, while Easter appears with more or less significance in every kingdom. The Camino de Santiago constitutes a sacred landscape with a common heritage, with a certain degree of cultural diversity that depends on the territory. These subtle differences have surfaced only in light of archaeoastronomical investigations. Full article

James I, King of Aragon (1213–1276). He was the third king of the Crown of Aragon, which had come into existence through the union between Queen Petronila of Aragon (1157–1164) and the Count of Barcelona Ramon Berenguer IV (1137–1162). James I represents a milestone in the iconography of the Kings of Aragon, although this is due more to his successors’ promotion of him rather than to his own efforts. In order to organise and unify his dominions after the conquests of Mallorca and Valencia, he immersed himself in legal work that consolidated his legislative power whilst still allowing his territories to retain a certain degree of autonomy. He carried out an essential monetary reorganisation in which his coinage retained its obverse but altered its reverse according to the place of issue. He never succeeded in being crowned, although he featured the crown prominently in his stamps and seals and, on some coins, he added the term rex gratia Dei. In addition, he revived the sword as a royal insignia, having proclaimed the right of conquest as the basis of his sovereignty. Full article
