| Resumo: | [EN] The mechanical earthworks caused by the construction of a wastewater treatment plant in the municipality of Salar (Granada, Spain) (Fig. 1) in November 2004, brought to light various material remains dating from Roman times. After several years of archaeological interventions, and fundamentally, since the archaeological direction was taken over by a scientific team from the University of Granada in 2016, the Roman villa of Salar has been placed among one of the most important agricultural facilities of Roman Hispania, thanks to its exceptional architecture and the good conservation of its decorative elements as well. Only a large part of the aristocratic residence has been excavated. This constitutes a minimal section of what must have been an enormous rural exploitation, in view of the wealth and luxury shown by the excavated sections of the pars urbana corresponding to the Late Empire. The villa's construction during the 4th century AD entailed a profound transformation of the landscape of the Canuto site. The articulation of the different rooms of the villa on terraces, on at least three different levels, made it necessary to carry out important work to lower and cut the terrain, which had a decisive effect on the buildings described above. The architecture and decorative elements of the pars urbana, constructed according to the orders of its dominus, help us to understand the social realities of this rural enclave in the 4th century AD and the magnitude of the changes which took place (Fig. 2). Next to the peristyle is an apsidal space that opens directly onto the north western ambulacrum in the central part, on the same axis as the entrance to the triclinium. Of these rooms, the most outstanding is located on an axis with the peristyle and the triclinium, marking the spaces profound symmetry and theatricality. Regarding the research project, since its inception, it has been characterised by pursuing three fundamental objectives: research, conservation and transfer of the knowledge generated to society, based on an interdisciplinary work methodology, where the implementation of digital techniques for archaeological documentation has been an essential basis for its development (Rosa Henestrosa, Román Punzón, Moreno-Alcaide & Ruiz Montes, 2022). The methodology used in the reconstruction is based on the criteria established for Virtual Archaeology, based on the Seville Principles (López-Menchero & Grande, 2011). To do this, we formed an interdisciplinary team made up of professionals from archaeology, architecture and engineering, which has made it possible to generate a model with high historical rigour and great technical quality. Starting from the previously analysed work, generated from the interpretations of the archaeological excavations, a new planimetry was developed in vector Computer-Aided Design (CAD) format that would later allow it to be used as a basis for the three-dimensional (3D) modelling of the Roman villa (Fig. 5).
