Abstract


The interventions that have been accomplished in the last years at the Alcazar of Seville, coordinated by the School of Arabic Studies (CSIC), are an interesting case that shows the relations among restoration, historic research, application of analytic techniques and diffusion of the results. Interdisciplinary actions carried out with the constant reference to historical values of the monument by a large and varied group of researchers and professionals have allowed not only important results regarding its physical conservation but also significant advances in the knowledge of its history and meaning. Using always rigorous photogrammetric plans as a basis, important original remains have been recuperated, some significative parts have been consolidated and restored and virtual reconstruction have been produced as the result of the historic research.
