The territory around the Real Alcázar of Seville: its transformation through the analysis of historical maps (1572-1890)
Abstract
This article interprets the evolution of the territorial heritage around the Real Alcázar of Seville as the basis for a characterisation of its extra-mural landscape. With respect to the methodology, the review of a selection of historical maps between 1572 and 1890 concentrates, firstly, on the detection and identification of the territorial heritage around the fortress. The comparative analysis and the systematic review of scientific literature is the basis for interpreting the territorial heritage transformations that, in our opinion, characterise the landscape in the area of study. The selection of historical maps, plans and drawings is intended to illustrate the changes that have occurred in the territorial heritage and to demonstrate the need to use different scales to understand the urban implications of the operations developed at the territorial level, and vice versa.
