The Castle of Segart is a small medieval fortification from the al-Andalus period (probably between the 12th and 13th centuries), which stands on a mount next to the town and in the Sierra Calderona. The castle has an irregular floor plan, formed by several walls that are sensibly adapted to the pronounced orography of the territory. Among the most significant elements that remain, it is worth paying attention to the towers, in particular those located to the north of the fortress. They are two square constructions, very close to each other and with a slight change of orientation. They are built with rammed earth walls with lime coating and reinforced with masonry bricks at the corners and other weak areas. To avoid direct contact with the ground, they are built on a base of masonry wall and lime concrete. As is the case with many fortifications in the Sierra Calderona, abandonment and natural risks, alongside with human intervention, have caused considerable deterioration of the castle, even to the point of losing the legibility of its volume development. In order to analyze the constructive geometry of this architecture and the pathologies that affect the structures, an exhaustive photogrammetric survey was necessary. On the redrawn plans, the singular constructive elements of the typology have been identified, the modulation used has been determined and a complete mapping of the pathologies has been studied. The constructive traces and the modulation used serve as support for the temporal location of the structures and would allow a stratigraphic study of this earthen architecture sample. The Castle of Segart is an example of the defensive constructions of the Sierra Calderona, with several singularities on which it is worth reflecting to determine its constructive phases and the outline of the walls that have shaped the fortress through history.
