Análisis arqueológico de la torre-puerta de la alcazaba de Guadix (Granada)

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.
