Survey, Research and Virtual Reality in the Monuments of Seville Included in the World Heritage List

Abstract

The monumental complex constituted by the Alcazar, the Cathedral and the Archivo de Indias in the city of Seville has been the subject, since its inclusion in the World Heritage List a few years ago, of an extensive documentation project that is to be basis and side work for other research and restoration works carried out. Systematic use of classic photogrammetric processes, forced by the size and characteristics of the monuments themselves, has provided a wide collection of wonderful drawings. Based on this documentation, and on an extensive historic and architectonic research, the analysis of historical transformations in the buildings has been approached, as well as the carrying out of a number of reconstructions using virtual models. With them, some audio-visual montages have been done, explaining the evolution along time of the most significant buildings.
