Virtual reconstruction of urban areas, which are lost due to natural or man-provoked disasters, is nowadays feasible through the usage of contemporary threedimensional technologies and virtual reality. This work focuses on the urban area of Argostoli in Kefalonia, Greece, which was completely destroyed by an earthquake during 1953. Using all kinds of information involving the town, a part of the urban area has been reconstructed in three dimensions and a virtual tour is now available.
We would like to thank the Corgialenios Library of Argostoli for providing their valuable information without which it would have been impossible to produce the virtual reconstruction described in this work.
