TORNER, Mª Eugenia et al. Embedding of the Church of the Asunción of Llíria (Spain). Origin and Consequences. Estoa [online]. 2019, vol.8, n.16, pp.209-229. ISSN 1390-9274.  https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v008.n016.a09.

The peculiar embedding of the construction of the church of the Asunción in Llíria (Valencia, Spain) arouses great interest because of the extent of the land cleared out to build the temple. This election led to a radical rupture with the morphology of the existing urban area, to the point of disjointing the composition of the town and trampling part of the existing town wall. The research conducted unifies the study of historical footprints with that of the traces still remaining. The lack of documentation concerning the church, especially of graphic type, has made this task difficult. The election of the site, along with the compositional and landscape consequences of the works, is one of the main issues covered in this article.

Keywords : Urban composition; church; heritage building surroundings; cartography study; urban development.
