This paper describes the 3D digital reconstruction of Sinhaya, a X–XIIth century Muslim
suburb in the city of Zaragoza. Accurate models and textures were obtained that capture all
the wear and tear of a real suburb populated by real characters. The visualization is based
on archaeological evidence from excavations and accurate historical documents. Precise
lighting algorithms developed by Grupo de Informática Gráfica Avanzada (GIGA) provide a
photorealistic look, while real actors composited into the synthetic scenes give life to the …
