Dalla Tavola Rasa al giardino archeologico. Il Giardino della Memoria di Vinaroz

Abstract

[EN] In 2001 the church and convent of San Francisco in the Castellón village of Vinaroz were destroyed, leaving only part of the north wall of the church and its interior flooring standing. After this disaster, the former site of the church grounds was asphalted to become a car park, and with the passing of the years the remains of the wall and flooring deteriorated considerably due to both natural causes and vandalism. The authors of this text were commissioned to design and build a garden to evoke the historic memory of the building and of the gardens and orchards surrounding it, restoring dignity to the location while transforming it into a place for meeting, relaxation and amusement, recovering a living space for the community
