The project consists in the restoration of a ninth-century Arab tower located on a hill in the province of Guadalajara. The exterior silhouette is reconstructed attempting to recover the original image (described in various historical texts and performing rigorous fieldwork in the ruins) as required by regulations. For this purpose, we use stone from the hillside, which is then carved and rigged according to the existing work.
