Medieval Burial, Calatrava La Nueva (Spain)

Medieval burial located in the impressive Fortress of Calatrava La Nueva in Aldea del Rey (Ciudad Real, Spain). The castle/convent of Calatrava La Nueva was built in the 13th century to serve as the seat of the powerful Order of Calatrava and today it is one of the most important castles in Spain. Inside, during excavations, 5 burials were found, presumably belonging to Christian knights of the Order of Calatrava. They were buried in the so-called Chapter House (Sala Capitular). This skeleton is still preserved in situ, inside the room. For conservation reasons, the Chapter House is currently closed to the public, although the rest of the castle is open to visitors. Thank you Castilla-La Mancha regional government, Aldea del Rey City Council and the archaeologist Ana Segovia Fernández, for the facilities they have given us and for the interest in the project. 3D model made using 84 images processed in Reality Caputure.
