Abstract
The research was focused on determining the types of landscape areas within the fortifications of medieval-Renaissance towns based on the use and the criteria for their valorisation and enhancement. Twenty-six Mediterranean and west European towns were analysed. Nine types of landscape areas and seven valorisation criteria have been determined. Three current approaches to the use of landscape areas within the town walls have been recognised.
Highlights
UvodThis paper is part of extensive research into landscape areas of fortified medieval-Re naissance towns.[1]
It deals with typological categorisation of landscape areas within the walls of historic medieval-Renaissance towns, the criteria for their valorisation and enhancement.[2]
Three research questions have been addressed: 1) which types of landscape areas appear within the medieval-Renaissance parts of towns, 2) how to determine the criteria for their valorisation and 3) which are the current approaches to the use of landscape areas in historic parts of towns
Summary
This paper is part of extensive research into landscape areas of fortified medieval-Re naissance towns.[1]. Based on the utilisation criteria, nine types of landscape areas within the historic defensive/fortification walls of the 26 analysed towns have been identified in the research. In the small-sized towns group Kotor and Grosseto have the fewest types of landscape areas (3), while in the medium to large towns group it is Bruges (4). Botanical gardens inside historic cores can be considered as public gardens with limited and controlled access They can be found in Lucca (1820), Ferrara (1771), Pisa (1543), Siena (the end of the 17th cent.), Bruges (1850, at the location of a former Franciscan monastery) and Bergamo (1972). STON 5.7 ha Landscape areas (hectares) / percentage of land.sp. in the total area of the historic city*
