The presentation of the meticulous metric mapping of the Alcázar of Seville provides us with an opportunity to make a reflection about the importance of drawing in the world of architecture and especially in restoration. The rigorous planimetric documentation of Spanish historico-artistic sites is a task that has not always been carried out. On this occasion, we must thank the Management and the Foundation of the Alcázar, and the great professionalism of the authors of the planimetry, who already illustrated the pages of this magazine with their works on the Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo in Granada (LOGGIA no. 4) and the Umayya Fortress in Amman, Jordan (LOGGIA no. 11).
