Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the building sequence of the gate tower of the medieval alcazaba of Guadix (Granada). To achieve this, we have made a tridimensional mapping of the structure through photogrammetry, an in deep stratigraphic analysis of the walls and a characterization of building techniques. These have allowed us to prove that the gate tower has a complex historic evolution, that makes possible to get a better understanding of the history of the alcazaba, from its construction in Zirid period to current times, with major transformations in Almohad, Nasrid, Castilian and Contemporary periods.
