The virtual reconstruction of architectural heritage is a fundamentally theoretical work that can address the problem of physical intervention in ruinous groups of buildings. The advantage of this work methodology is to provide, in addition to graphical database, three-dimensional visualizations in a digital architectural model. The heritage management according to this system allows the realization of previous studies evaluating the feasibility of a future reconstruction project. The virtual nature of the method provides non-invasive theoretical results that allow an adequate disclosure. This paper, in addition to establishing the methodological framework, provides a practical example of application in the virtual recovery of Al-Munastir Castle.
