AB In the first half of the 12th century, several military works were developed throughout theterritories under Almoravid rule, above all after 1126, both in the main towns and the rural areas of theEmpire. Within this context, the aim of this paper is to present the results achieved in the frameworkof the PREFORTI R&D Project (BIA2015-69938-R) concerning the particular case of these militaryconstructions built in the region of Southeast Al-Andalus (Granada and Almeria, Spain). To achievethis aim, we have studied their remains during field work, as well as documentation contained inarchives, written sources and historiography, focusing on the risks that affect their conservation. Theanalysis of six cases of study has been included, where a sample of the systematic method based onpreventive conservation measures has been detailed in two particular cases: the walls of the AlcazabaQad¯ıma (Granada) and the walls of La Hoya and Cerro de San Cristóbal (Almeria). The proposedmethod has been validated by the public bodies responsible for the protection of this heritage. Itsimportance lies in the guarantee to slow down the deterioration of this heritage, which facilitates theimplementation of effective and economic strategies for its conservation.
