Heritage themes

The thematic essays cross Portuguese heritage not by places, but by ideas: the form of the city, the evolution of architectural languages, the arts that accompany them and the theoretical frameworks that today allow us to think about conservation.

Other themes in preparation: the Portuguese city and urbanism, the architectural periods (from the Romanesque to the Pombaline), military architecture and fortifications, Roman archaeology and rock art, intangible heritage and the theory of heritage-making.
