Repositorio gráfico digital de la Iglesia de Santa María de Tobed
A digital graphic repository of the Church of Santa María de Tobed, a prominent example of Mudejar architecture and church-fortress typology in Aragon, has been created using advanced photogrammetric and laser scanning techniques. This 3D point cloud model provides a detailed volumetric representation of the heritage site, enabling complex data visualization through web viewers like Potree, which leverage WebGL standards. The resulting product serves as a valuable resource for architectural inventories, offering large repositories of information that can be shared and accessed efficiently.
Desarrollo de un Web-GIS para el patrimonio arquitectónico Mudéjar
A Web-GIS tool has been developed to document and analyze the Mudejar architectural heritage of Aragon, including 227 buildings, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This system integrates spatial data with historical, protective, geometric, and conservation details, enabling comprehensive inventories for heritage protection and urban planning. The tool supports spatial analysis, decision-making, and dissemination, offering a territorial-scale perspective that transcends isolated building assessments. It serves as an additional instrument for preparing inventories aimed at safeguarding this culturally significant architectural legacy.
Análisis arquitectónico y constructivo de la techumbre en madera policromada de la iglesia de San Antonio Abad de Valencia como pervivencia de la arquitectura tardogótica mediterránea en la Valencia del siglo XV.
A rare survival of late medieval craftsmanship, the polychrome wooden roof of San Antonio Abad Church in Valencia has been revealed as a masterful example of Gothic Mudejar architecture from 15th-century Valencia. This study deciphers its construction techniques and material evolution, tracing its origins to 1409–1446 under Alfonso V the Magnanimous and surviving intact until 1987 despite neoclassical transformations in 1765–1768. Through detailed analysis of the roof's structure, pigments, and joinery—including the preservation of heraldic elements—the research reconstructs its historical behavior, sheds light on Mudejar adaptation to Mediterranean Gothic forms, and underscores its significance as an almost unknown heritage site within Valencia's medieval urban fabric.
Characterization of mudejar mortars from St. Gil Abbot church (Zaragoza, Spain): Investigation of the manufacturing technology of ancient gypsum mortars
Research on Mudejar mortars from St. Gil Abbot church (Zaragoza, Spain) reveals that these ancient gypsum-based materials exhibit a unique homogeneity in composition, with both binder and aggregates predominantly made of gypsum and carbonate rock fragments. The study, employing multi-analytical techniques including petrographic analysis, chemistry, and mineralogy, demonstrates that the aggregates are by-products of a grinding process applied to pre-burnt raw materials. This manufacturing technique significantly enhanced the mortars' quality, offering insights into advanced ancient construction practices. Published in Materiales de Construcción, this work underscores the sophistication of Mudejar architecture's technological innovations.
