Highlighting the Heritage of Meseta Ibérica

[EN] Meseta Ibérica is a region placed along the border between Spain and Portugal in the international Douro river area. This region has an exquisite rural landscape, of which the urban landscape is part. In this context, research work was done in order to contribute to the characterization of this urban landscape on a village scale. Six villages were selected to be studied: Atenor, Rio de Onor and Bemposta, in Portugal and Fariza, Riomanzanas and San Martín de Castañeda, in Spain. Altogether, 767 buildings have been studied according to different parameters such as the type of building, the type of utilization, the stage of conservation, type of building materials, type of structure solution, the colour of the façade, among many more. This paper intends to share some of the obtained results from the heritage perspective. These results may give guidance for future urban rehabilitation management.
