“…As for the graphic analysis of the disappeared gates, it is worth referring to an article by Gámiz-Gordo and Barrero-Ortega on the Puerta de Triana [68] and their book chapter on the Puerta Real [69], which includes historical images, without going into the study of the urban environment, which is the subject of this research.…”

The city of Seville experienced a remarkable rise in the 16th century thanks to trade with America. Based on a report by the architect Hernán Ruiz, it was decided to renovate the gates of the walled city. The Puerta Real, also called Puerta de Goles, was remodelled between 1560 and 1566, and King Philip II entered through it in 1570. However, it was demolished around 1864, and only the remains of the adjacent wall stand today. This research aims to graphically analyse the gate and its immediate surroundings to gain a more profound knowledge of it and to promote its heritage value. To this end, an extensive collection and analysis of historical images has been carried out, which are essential for understanding the transformations of the site. A photograph by Masson (c. 1855–1860) was next used to support the virtual reconstruction of the gate. A 3D laser scanner was also used to document the existing archaeological remains and, via game-engine technology, to recreate rigorously, for the first time, this 16th-century gate in its current environment. This research could be useful for future scientific reconstruction to promote the heritage revitalisation of this city area.

“…In previous research [69], the process for the virtual, geometric and dimensional reconstruction of the disappeared Puerta Real is described without considering textures or lighting. For this purpose, the only surviving photograph Masson took around 1855-1860 and then commented on was used.…”
