Intervention in the sector of Porta da Vila in the city walls of Lagos (Algarve, Portugal): historical, technical and constructive aspects
The construction of the Modern city wall with bulwarks (16 - 17th centuries) altered and enlarged the mediaeval fortification. Due to poliorcetica criteria, in order to build the bulwark of Santa Maria, the mediaeval outline in the sector of Porta da Vila was modified. Some difficulties that arouse on carrying out the project are evident through the different techniques used in the wall construction, as well as through the incapacity to build some of the projected elements. Conservation works of the city wall are currently being carried out. These comprise filling up construction gaps as well as the construction of the top of the city wall with mud wall (tapial).

Abstract
The construction of the Modern city wall with bulwarks (16 - 17th centuries) altered and enlarged the mediaeval fortification. Due to poliorcetica criteria, in order to build the bulwark of Santa Maria, the mediaeval outline in the sector of Porta da Vila was modified. Some difficulties that arouse on carrying out the project are evident through the different techniques used in the wall construction, as well as through the incapacity to build some of the projected elements. Conservation works of the city wall are currently being carried out. These comprise filling up construction gaps as well as the construction of the top of the city wall with mud wall (tapial).
