  • This contribution was made in the frame of the R & D project entitled "Surveillance and Defense Towers of the Valencian Coast. Metadata generation and 3D models for interpretation and effective enhancement" reference HAR2013-41859-P. The project is funded by the National Program for Fostering Excellence in Scientific and Technical Research, National Sub-Program for Knowledge Generation, Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (Government of Spain). It presents the assessment and sets the basis for a future interpretation project of the towers included in a small stretch of the defense system built along the Spanish Mediterranean coast during the second half of the XIV Century: The Bay of Xàbia. Four study cases belonging to the same network, but different by their typology, their function, their chronology, their materiality and also by their sad presence in the present memory of the place.
