Abstract:
The Alcázar de Arriba of Carmona is a 10th-century fortress of Islamic origin that underwent continuous alterations in subsequent periods, reaching its greatest splendour during the Late Medieval Christian period under the reign of Peter I. At present, it survives in a state of ruin as a result of its historical development; however, thanks to the analysis of archaeological interventions carried out at the site and to the geometric documentation produced by other researchers, it is possible to propose a hypothesis regarding its original configuration and its constructional evolution. The objective of this study is to provide a diachronic graphic interpretation of this evolution through the generation of an HBIM model capable of integrating the available knowledge about the building and graphically grading the level of uncertainty associated with the proposed hypotheses.
