A “Cultural Interconnection Point”, Municipality of Larissa

Ottoman Yeni Mosque monument, Larissa

Since April 2025

ICS-FORTH has created an innovative “Cultural Interconnection Point” in the city of Larissa and specifically at the Ottoman Yeni Mosque monument, utilizing cutting-edge technologies. The newly restored spaces of the historical monument of Yeni Mosque in the city center will provide visitors with modern, innovative and alternative ways of information, starting in the autumn of this year. The aim is to inform the local population and visitors on matters related to tourism and the city’s culture throughout the year.

The technological infrastructure of the information center consists of original interactive systems. In addition, two original applications for latest generation mobile phones (Android & iOS) were created that aim to provide experiential and personalized information to users of all ages, allowing their joint participation in group games, as well as their continuous information on events in the city. Finally, an online platform was created that allows the Municipality of Larissa to manage the content of individual systems, as well as manage their operation.

The interactive systems installed are:
