Resumen
Castles are complex fortified systems based on a solid relationship between the territory and the builtarchitecture. The former defines the context of development, access, and defense conditions. The latteradapts to the context, proposing fortified structures in continuity with the orography of the territory. Bothfactors are crucial to understanding castles’ historical evolution and social roles over time. In this knowledgepath, the survey process assumes a primary role as a tool to analyze and interpret the built environmentthrough bibliographic and iconographic analysis and the study of reality. Within the castle domain becameessential to manage multiple scales of knowledge, acquisition, and representation, deepening the territoryand the fortress systems. The case study analyzed is the Castle of Canossa, the epicenter of some criticalevents in medieval times. The authors describe an integrated survey process between active and passivetechniques at architectural and territorial scales. Several geometrical validation steps have been introducedto verify the geometrical reliability. The pipeline highlights also the crucial relationship between territoryand buildings, laying the groundwork for a more articulated analysis of the entire architectural complex. Atthe end, a superimposition between the geometrical model and a historical mock-up is suggested, collectinghelpful information for the next reconstruction step.
