This work aims at presenting the experimental results obtained by the application
of one of the digital protocols developed during the European project HeritageCare:
Monitoring and preventive conservation of historical and cultural heritage. These protocols
are devoted to the preventive conservation of heritage constructions and its assets. More
specifically, the application of the second level of services of the HeritageCare system is
presented through two complementary case studies: a large Neo-Manueline church situated
nearby Guimarães, Portugal, and a small Romanesque church located in Palencia, Spain. In
each case study a different set of digital technologies was employed with the aim of evaluating
the flexibility of the developed protocols. This set of technologies comprises the use of in-house apps for enhancing the visual inspection together with geomatic techniques based on static and
wearable laser scanners as well as digital single-lens reflex and as-built 360º cameras. The
results obtained by the application of these digital tools have allowed the creation of a Web-
GIS platform for ensuring the proper documentation of cultural heritage and streamlining the
management of their conservation process according to a proactive approach.
