This course will introduce a scattered and abandoned historical heritage throughout Andalusia, usually in rural areas. These are mainly fortifications, but also bridges, hermitages and quarries. These form part of the frontier that existed between two worlds and cultures for 250 years, and which in its western part was called "Banda Morisca".
The proposal will contemplate the deepening of the interpretation and historical value in social and economic terms in order to understand the construction of the territory and its landscapes, strongly conditioned by its frontier character. Its abandonment and historiographical oblivion have left little or no record in the cultural and documentary sphere, leaving its remains as the only testimony.
In this course we will analyse the historical context that led to the creation of this architectural network, the why and when of this constructive impulse that undoubtedly meant an enormous effort with the imposition of an authentic constructive programme. After this first phase of historical and architectural description, we will move on to a second phase in which we will explain some current concepts and criteria for architectural restoration, and the heritage conservation strategy followed by the Administration.
Finally, we will show how a heritage valuation focused on socio-cultural activation and economic reactivation can safeguard this heritage and even benefit the economic fabric of the surrounding area, helping to retain the population of these rural areas.
Online course of 30 hours. Course start: Monday 11 January 2021.
