Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can facilitate the preventive conservation of cultural heritage (CH) by enabling the management of data collected from electronic sensors. This work presents an IoT architecture for this purpose. Firstly, we discuss the requirements from the artwork standpoint, data acquisition, cloud processing and data visualization to the end user. The results presented in this work focuses on the most critical aspect of the architecture, which are the sensor nodes. We designed a solution based on LoRa and Sigfox technologies to produce the minimum impact in the artwork, achieving a lifespan of more than 10 years. The solution will be capable of scaling the processing and storage resources, deployed either in a public or on-premise cloud, embedding complex predictive models. This combination of technologies can cope with different types of cultural heritage environments.

Apart from the inherent value of the building itself, it con735 tains an important collection of diverse artifacts, including works by renowned painters such as Juan de Juanes (1507 - 1579), Jeronimo Jacinto de Espinosa (1600 - 1667), Jose Vergara (1726 - 1799), and Vicente Lopez (1772 - 1850), as well as murals, panels and several wooden altarpieces made to replace those destroyed in the Spanish Civil War. 740 The target was to monitor the environment inside the church by considering different zones and a range of objects in order to determine possible risks, including the following:
Major Altarpiece at the apse: since there was access to this altarpiece at different levels, the aim was to study the correlation between readings of environmental conditions with the moisture content in different parts of the wood aimed at detecting possible pests
Summary
Modern societies tend towards a globalized world with many challenges. One priority is to defend and promote the particular aspects of native cultures in each region and country. Culture is expressed in multiple ways such as art, 5 linguistic aspects or architecture. Cultural Heritage (CH) has an important value that must be promoted and safeguarded for future generations, because the deterioration or destruction of artworks is a serious loss that cannot be recovered in many cases. CH is a source of wealth as it promotes tourism, creative art and native culture. Millions of tourists choose their destination 10 every year based on the artistic and cultural interest of the places visited, such as monuments, museums, exhibitions, historical villages, ruins, etc
