Virtualift – Virtual Elevator

Entrance to the Virtualift in Palmanova, with a red cabin outside the building.

Experience

The VIRTUALIFT is an immersive experience that allows visitors to admire Palmanova from a unique perspective. Inside a virtual elevator, surrounded by high-definition images, sound effects and a vibrating platform, visitors simulate a flight rising from the city into the sky.
Without the need for VR headsets, the experience reveals the perfect star-shaped design of the UNESCO fortress city through a fascinating journey combining technology, emotion and spectacular panoramas.

Thanks to this innovative multimedia installation, visitors can admire the star fortress from above and even from space, simulating an ascent through real video footage and immersive sound effects created with high-definition LED screens and a specially designed vibrating platform.

Palmanova reveals itself in its most spectacular form: the breathtaking aerial view.
The UNESCO World Heritage star city can finally be admired as if flying above its perfectly symmetrical nine-pointed fortifications.

No headset or special device is required: visitors simply enter the virtual elevator cabin and begin an emotional journey through images, history and technology — without ever leaving the ground.

The experience lasts approximately 5 or 15 minutes, depending on visitors’ preferences.
