Reconstructing cultural heritage objects from storytelling

Once upon a time in a small city of Sjenica, Serbia, there was a fortress. The Ottoman Sultan Murat IV has built it to protect and control this important region. Today at that location there is an elementary school. There is no trace of the fortress neither at the place nor in the memory of people. But, an old man still remembers it from his childhood. In this paper we describe how we recreated the cultural heritage object of Sultan Murat´s fortress in Sjenica from storytelling. We present the created interactive multimedia application and the impressions of Sjenica citizens after a part of their history was returned to their collective memory.
