Asset Overview

The cistern (aljibe) of the castle of Los Vélez in Mula (Murcia) was designed and built to guarantee the water supply to the defenders of the keep in case of a siege. The exterior is protected by solid stone walls built directly on the natural bedrock. The cistern has a rectangular floor plan and is covered by a barrel vault. Inside it preserves the red plaster (almagra) that served both to waterproof the space and to improve water conservation. This model was created from 867 images. The images were aligned and modeled in Agisoft Photoscan 1.4.
