COMUNICACIÓN Y PRENSA
This book, which contains a collection of essays by specialists from different disciplines, offers an in-depth study of the mediaeval house from both an architectural and anthropological perspective.
The book is structured around four historical/geographical spaces: I: North Africa and the Orient. II. Al-Andalus. III. The Kingdom of Granada after the final conquest of Al-Andalus. IV. The Christian Kingdoms.
In this indispensable selection of articles perhaps the most interesting for us is the chapter by María Elena Díez Jorge (pages 395 to 463) entitled Casas en la Alhambra después de la conquista cristiana (1492-1516) : pervivencias medievales y cambios (Houses in the Alhambra after the Christian conquest (1492-1516) mediaeval continuities and changes), which is very well documented and illustrated. In this chapter carried out within the framework of a research project entitled: "Nasrid cities: urban structure, defensive system and water supply” (HAR2011-30293), the reader can identify the transformations in forms, models and customs between the mediaeval and modern ages in the city of the Alhambra.
