The rejection of the case sent a message to everyone not to trouble themselves to file more cases and hire lawyers, because those who are affected due to the bad job by the con- tractor and the ministry of public works need to remain silent and accept the reality. Or take the long road of insurance companies and garages to repair the damage and pay for it. For more than a year now, many people have been suffering from the flying stones on the roads that is damaging their cars, especially when the windshield shatters, forcing motorists to pay from their own pockets to change the glass and repair the cars, whether tires or other parts.

This work focuses on the Punic and the Roman temples and aims to define their conservation state and provenance of construction materials through their minero-petrographic and physical-mechanical characterization. In addition, artificial geomaterials used in restoration works comprising a partial anastylosis and a consolidation intervention on the monument, were investigated to evaluate the aesthetic, petrographic and petrophysical compatibility with the original materials. The results indicate that Punic builders preferred to use a porous sandstone coming from Citation: Columbu, S.; Gaviano, E.; at least few kilometres away from the site. By contrast, Roman builders opted for the use of the less Costamagna, L.G.; Fancello, D. porous and harder local metadolostones, more difficult to quarry and to hew but promptly available Mineralogical-Petrographic and Physical-Mechanical Features of the in the surrounding area.

Heritage Sustainability of the Territory: Photogrammetric Survey of the Castle of Beas De Segura (Jaén, Spain)
sustainability Article Heritage Sustainability of the Territory: Photogrammetric Survey of the Castle of Beas de Segura (Jaén, Spain) Pablo Manuel Millán-Millán 1,* and José Miguel Fernández-Cuadros 2 1 Architectural Projects Department, University of Seville, 41012 Seville, Spain 2 Beas de Segura Town Hall, 23280 Beas de Segura, Jaén, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-680-785-662 Abstract: Beas de Segura is an ancient village located in the valley of the Sierra de Segura, at the gateway to the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas (Jaén, Spain). This territory has been inhabited by different cultures, from the Palaeolithic to the present day, giving rise to a complex urban fabric in which relevant architectural and archaeological elements still survive. The coexistence of these heritage structures with the inhabited domestic architecture has generated signiﬁcant conﬂicts of coexistence, resulting in an accelerated process of physical and social deterioration of this increasingly impoverished area. Drawing, together with all the techniques that derive from it, is a necessary and precise source of knowledge and communication for understanding the territory, however complex it may be. This potential, applied to a heritage and social reality such as that of the Castle and Fortress of Beas de Segura (Jaén), allows for processes to be revealed, actions to be ordered, and interventions to be proposed. This article brings together the results of research carried out in this Citation: Millán-Millán, P.M.; area of the Sierra de Segura, in which graphic expression, combined with the study of materials, Fernández-Cuadros, J.M.
