Figure 3. Agia Sofia church, with the surrounding area from 
IKONOS satellite imagery 1:5,000 (monument with 
No 22 in Fig. 2) 
The larger scale (1:2,500) revealed more detailed information 
for the monuments itself and its “environment”. Relatively we 
present the example of Rotonda Fig. 4. 
3. CONCLUSIONS — DISCUSSION 
This paper was done in an effort to search through the 
application — capabilities of every “new” (method, 
instrumentation, data) in the scientific areas of Photogrammetry 
and Remote Sensing. 
Particularly, hardcopies of IKONOS satellite imagery were used 
in scales 1:5,000 and 1:2,500. This kind of IKONOS data was 
chosen because it presents increased capabilities for delineation 
of urban network and for understanding cultural features. 
The application possibilities of visual interpretation of IKONOS 
satellite imagery are searched through on the study of 
monuments that exist in new cities, something very common for 
Greece. 
Radiometric and spectral criteria are, in this case, very useful. 
The observations that resulted from the study and are 
formulated in the text as well the included examples, show the 
rich information that results from visual interpretation. 
Overlays of different content for the monuments and their wide 
surroundings may be acquired, depending on the particular 
requirements, that can serve monuments' archives (useful for 
the Greek area) or/and more general regional planning and 
environmental development, but also as a basis for the 
organization of particular photogrammetric works. 
IKONOS data can also be used for further processing with 
digital analysis.
