Medieval Latrine (Alhama de Murcia, Spain)

Example of an Islamic medieval latrine preserved in Alhama de Murcia (Murcia, Spain). The medieval cities of Al-Andalus developed extensive regulations aimed at improving hygiene and thus preventing disease. Little by little, the existence of latrines inside the Islamic houses became general, something very rare in Christian medieval Europe. Islamic fortresses also had latrines. These latrines dumped the waste into the sewerage network, into blind wells, or directly outside the walls. 3D model was made in Reality Capture software using 135 images; additional processing was completed in Geomagic Wrap, Meshlab, and Blender
