“…The eroded area is in red of the courses is not considerably altered. This type of Castilian construction is characteristic and comparable to that of other castles and fortifications that share a similar chronology and even greater geographical proximity, as can be seen in [12]. The use of masonry in the construction is the most reasonable technique, since the fortification is located in a frontier area and it is necessary to be as efficient as possible in its construction.…”

“…In addition, the results obtained are usually better than those obtained with other systems such as the use of poles, scaffolding, ladders, etc. Photographic sensors installed in UAS are enabling the detection of archaeological sites, so that when sensors capable of capturing invisible light spectra such as infrared or ultraviolet are installed, the detection of underground structures belonging to settlements of past times is facilitated, as can be analysed in [11,12].…”

The constant development of geomatics tools has driven the opening of their applications to multiple disciplines, including archaeology. The possibility of performing a 3D reconstruction of archaeological remains as well as a semantic classification of the 3D surface facilitates not only a better knowledge of the historical heritage but also an essential aid to the planning and development of restoration and preservation projects of this legacy. Different data exploitation strategies are needed to take advantage of the geospatial data provided by geomatics tools. In this paper, we have studied the current state of conservation of a medieval tower, Torre Benzalá in Jaén, southern Spain. The interesting thing about this study is that very high resolution RGB images, taken by a drone, have been used in order to show the current degree of deterioration of the tower, providing accurate and precise documentation of the current state. Thus, a highly detailed 3D reconstruction of the tower has been carried out. A dense point cloud was generated to obtain a digital elevation model (DEM) to identify and quantify the most critically deteriorated areas. The results are useful for the development of an architectural maintenance and restoration project to preserve this archaeological legacy.

“…They built their main castle on top of La Peña of Martos as a symbol of their power in this region. This fortification had a key role in protecting this territory from attacks from the Nasrid kingdom of Granada during the 13th to the 15th century (García-Pulido et al 2020).…”

Andalusi Defensive Architecture through Martín de Ximena Jurado’s Drawings (Mid-17th Century)

The antiquarian Martín de Ximena Jurado was a pioneer in the historical cartography of the old Kingdom of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain), where he tried to represent emblematic areas with their military defences with his particular graphic language. Not surprisingly, this territory has a high concentration of medieval fortifications. The data and drawings that he made of castles, towers, and defensive enclosures show a special interest in the militarisation of sites and places. He went beyond a simple toponymic study aimed only at finding a correspondence between the ancient name and the location of a settlement based on the evidence provided by coins and inscriptions. The medieval fortifications that he mapped were not drawn in ruins as one would expect they would be in the mid-17th century, but with their most characteristic construction elements. This fact gives it great relevance, as it represents the idealised hypothesis of the state of these constructions at the time of the Castilian conquest in the decades following the Almohad debacle in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212).
