El agua en la estructura de la ciudad: acequias y transformaciones urbanas en Caravaca de la Cruz
Journal Title: Alquipir - Year 2021, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
The existence of a water supply point has been the main cause of settlement for the population throughout history. In the case of the urban area of Caravaca de la Cruz, the presence of a network of canals from the springs of the Fuentes del Marqués and Mairena, was key to the urban development of this population. In this work, a reconstruction of the original layout of the network of canals in the town centre around the 1930s is carried out, placing special emphasis on the section of the Hila del Pilar and the urban transformations carried out in Calle Canalica. It is shown that the network of ditches is configured as an ethnographic support of the area, which must be valued and integrated into urban planning.
