we went guests led by Ignacio Bazán and a large representation of Gefrema . The route was to accumulate information and knowledge about the medieval past of Madrid of vital importance for the new web history that GIPL research team will draw for next year. The parallels with
Manzanares Park are abundant. The dominant position on the Gates Creek allowed this space see different civilizations flourish, from the Chalcolithic to English Civil War, through the Iron and Muslim and Christian period. The outside of Madrid, to draw the field of city \u200b\u200bin the Middle Ages, and cited this place when he said "That the righteousness of Madrid publicly declare the suburbs where the cattle watered from Madrid in and without hesitation is [...] [...] Another trough between the stream bars, the village of Juan Muñoz and Atarafal. " Shortly after the Charter describes succinctly exactly what today are the lands of Manzanares Park. Precisely
occupation during the Iron II settlement was a town very similar to Carpetana of the Gavia, which is cited as a paradigmatic example in panels and publications that the Council has published for that purpose. Islamic past
Although not found, If you installed the recapture his perch in the turbulent Middle Ages, getting a beautiful castle by the family of Mendoza (S XV), now almost fully recovered and pending further archaeological interventions. In the Linear Park, we know that there were at least two watchmen Arab which would then be reoccupied by Christianity: La Torrecilla and Crispin Abén Tower. Both watched the sandy ford and crossroads is now the site of the Eighth Lock Royal Canal del Manzanares.
The castle eventually lose its defensive nature to become a symbol of power of the aristocracy, from hand to hand, first by the Zapata (S XVI) and then the Fernán-Núñez, who built a cemetery beside her family, now also part of this historical-and fell into disuse the castle itself.
The castle would be reoccupied by the Republican troops during the Civil War , leaving next to it a small concrete fortifications also recovered by the city of Madrid. Such facilities to stop the civil war www.parquelineal.es/guerracivil/http://www.parquelineal.es/guerracivil/ are endless. The route ended
visiting the general's bunker Miaja in Capricho Park, about 500 meters. A concreted tunnel network and accesses closed under heavy security doors that are perfectly preserved. a great historical heritage of our war we could not visit, because you need an appointment to tour galleries . Will in the next, but failing that we leave this video shot by the Collective Guadarrama Manuel kindly sent us.
The archaeological site of the Castillo de la Alameda de Osuna is unique because of the large amount of history stored up in a few square meters, and only by being in the town center of the city of Madrid. The council recently invested in 3 million euros for these reasons and probably due to the return that he gets one or the other way.
The opening of the interpretive center occurred in February 2010. Around it lie the remains restored, and in some cases entirely rebuilt, the castle, the gatehouse, and the Civil War bunker. The site is awaiting a second operation to retrieve another part of the story. The access is not only free , but also offers the opportunity to acquire magnificent publication published by the Madrid City Council for the symbolic price of one euro . A good choice today against unsavory crowds of downtown Madrid.
impossible not to make parallels between the magnificent interpretation center Castillo de la Alameda de Osuna and Parque Lineal del Manzanares. The story, very similar, the remains of the PL , incalculable and invaluable, they pale in 6000 hectares victims of public indifference and administrative . This is the first problem, the complexity of tackling a restoration project on an area as large, costly to maintain and with a return on invested euro, very low.
municipal investment in the center of interpretation of Castillo de la Alameda de Osuna is currently unthinkable in the Madrid suburbs Linear Park in Vallecas or Villaverde. Especially seeing the complexity of holding such small facilities with four dependents and panels, signs and roads that will take months to deteriorate "We owe it allowed? Perhaps in the Alameda de Osuna, yes, but something tells us that the maintenance of the investment would be very different on this side of the Manzanares, if not impossible to address in a territory as vast as that covered by the Linear Park.
proposal should refresh the news from this blog was made to readers: Parque Lineal del Manzanares, a historical recovery and environmentally sustainable to begin to raise serious and competitive alternative compared to the simple and pure destruction of space Manzanares Park.
