Towards the incorporation of a raised walkway at the Royal Alcázar of Seville: status and execution of the works

A recent restoration project at the Royal Alcázar of Seville successfully revived the 16th-century design by architect Vermondo Resta, transforming a medieval wall into a double-storey gallery with panoramic views over the palace gardens. The 'Galería del Grutesco,' or Grotto Gallery, had lost its defensive function but was reimagined as an elevated walkway. The study highlights the technical challenges and solutions employed in this 21st-century restoration, ensuring historical accuracy while addressing modern conservation needs.
