Resumen

The history of Granada has been plagued by aggressive urban reforms which changed the image of the city and that significantly decreased its Architectural Heritage. Today we have graphic tools that allow us to invoke those architectonic spirits, making them visible again: virtual recreations. However, virtual products developed without a firm scientific support can lead to inadequate results, source of historical falsehoods that could distort the memory of the vanished architecture. It is necessary to train professionals fully aware of the importance of intellectual integrity, reliability, transparency, sustainability and access relating to the virtual recreations applied to the research, representation and dissemination of the architecture of the past.
