From 1 to 5 September, Avila held the twenty-seventh edition of the International CIPA Symposium for the documentation of the heritage (CIPA 2019).
This year’s edition brought together more than 300 experts in the field from all over the world. On the first day of the symposium, attendees were able to enjoy different tutorials given by experts at the Higher Polytechnic School of Ávila: from tutorials for the use of BIM tools for the conservation and management of heritage to the application of underwater photogrammetry applied to Cutural Heritage. During the remaining days of the congress, attendees were able to attend demo sessions, poster sessions, technical sessions and oral presentations at the Palacio de Congresos “Lienzo Norte” in Avila. 
After 5 intense days, the CIPA congress ended with the closing session with a video-summary of the congress (summary at https://www.youtube.com). The location of the next edition of CIPA, which will be held in Beijing (China) from 28 august to 1 september, was also communicated. Not only the International Symposium allowed to the participants to know the last news and trends about the documentation of the historic heritage but also to know Avila from a touristic point of view. For this end, some guided visits to the cathedral , the wall and a tapas tour were organized. More information about the 27th International Symposium at https://www.cipa2019.org.
