Propiedad monástica y sustento alimentario: el patrimonio productivo del monasterio de Sant Cugat del Vallès (siglos X y XI)

Abstract

This paper aims to study the productive assets of the monastery of Sant Cugat del Valles between the 10th and 11th centuries from a territorial perspective. Georeferencing the information in its rich cartulary and through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), we intend to approach to the progressive increase of its possessions in the county of Barcelona and to the diversity of productive spaces (farmland, livestock, fisheries, food processing areas: mills and bread furnaces) that constituted their heritage. The maps resulting from this process will allow us to know the territorial evolution of the monastic property and their asset management strategies, designed to ensure both food sustenance of the monks and economic development of the community.
