Abstract

Accurate documentation is essential to be able to carry out the processes of restoration and enhancement of protected heritage contexts. Data collection has increasingly been refined to the point of being able to carry out virtual recreations of complex historical sites, in order to make in-depth studies and analyses. An example of this is Carcabuey Castle (Cordoba, Andalusia), a large fortress with important structures emerging from the medieval period. It is a monumental complex of the so-called “Frontier Castles” which were located between the Kingdom of Aragon and the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. With the aims of restoration and enhancement, an in-depth study was carried out for its conservation and subsequent intervention. Data collection consisted of scanning and vectorization of all structures, as well as a complex and complete photogrammetric survey. From these previous data, and, carrying out a deductive analytical methodology, 3D printed models were made at different scales of detail that would allow the study of the volumes, materials and textures which make up the Castle.
