Summary

Archaeological excavations at the Pátio dos Carrascos, part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Convent of Christ in Tomar, revealed significant insights into the site's construction and reuse phases. The study, conducted in July 2010 as preliminary work for a restoration project, utilized advanced methodologies including traditional drawings, rectified photography, and point cloud extractions to document all excavation stages with precision. These techniques enabled the post-production of detailed records, capturing the evolution of the site's architecture across multiple phases. The findings contribute valuable data for conservation efforts and computational analysis, enhancing our understanding of this historic monument's architectural history.
