While the technology in Earth observation and Surveying fields advances, it’s possible to learn more information in less time. This research aimed to design a web application that provides useful information about the public monuments from Cluj-Napoca near the user’s location. Users can fix their position on the map, define the range of interest, and identify the monuments on the web map. Also, they can find the best route to the touristic objectives, pictures of the monuments, and their history. To achieve these, we first retrieved the coordinates of the statues and monuments using the Mobile Topographer application. We included these coordinates and information about the studied objectives’ history and type in a geodatabase. Secondly, we used ArcGIS Pro to obtain information based on the collected data, and a map was created. We created customized scalable icons for each studied monument type. Once data was analysed, it was uploaded into ArcGIS Online as a hosted feature layer based on which a web application was built. This application will be publicly accessible, without conditional on software licenses or the device used.
