abstract = {Persons with disabilities (PWD) account for 10–15% of the world’s population. The lack of
accessibility in the built environment imposes a constraint on its use by these individuals. In heritage
buildings, this restriction includes access to other main qualities in addition to use. This problematic
issue has been dealt with in different sectors, especially in the tourism sector. The objective of this
study is to design and implement a physical accessibility assessment tool adapted to the particularities
of heritage buildings. The methodology consists of two phases. In the first phase, the tool and the
necessary instruments for its use are designed. Accessibility levels are also established. In the second
phase, the tool is applied to a sample size of 45 buildings. The results show the tool and related
instruments, as well as the data obtained from the analysis of the sample: identified barriers, the level
of accessibility of the entire sample, and the level of accessibility by architectural typologies. The
conclusions and discussion reflect on the utility of this tool, the feasibility of its extension to other
domains, and the relevance of the information obtained from the sample to improve accessibility in
architectural heritage.},
