Lecture 5. Cities of the Conquerors: Mediterranean and Atlantic Settlements of Castile and Aragon. An-cestors and Siblings of American Hispanic Urbanism.
The fifth lecture depicts urban morphologies, laws, and practices that preceded Spanish American urbanism. The main regions studied are the Balear Islands with cities founded by the Kingdom of Aragon in the four-teenth century, the Canary Islands, and its Castillian port cities, the Castillian-Andalusian frontier with cities designed to occupy emptied lands and increase Castilian population, and finally the Mediterranean stage with fortified bastions built to strengthen the Spanish military presence in the region in the mid-sixteenth century. The lecture ends with an outline of some of the connections with Hispanic-American colonial urban-ism, signaling the differences between fortified settlements and open grid cities.
