Abstract


Nasrid Granada was conquered by means of a long, debilitating war. In order to culminate this undertaking, throughout 1491 Ferdinand and Isabella installed all of their troops in the plain of Granada, quartering them in the tents and huts of a military encampment, the Real de la Vega. Forthwith, the construction of a city-encampment was begun as a winter garrison, the Real de Santa Fe, where some of the innovations in Spanish fortification work -in transition from the medieval to the modern- were introduced. This text, by utilizing the data contained in the carved relief of the lower choir stalls of Toledo Cathedral in which these events are represented, attempts to reveal the most significant elements of these two royal camps and how they were protected.
