This is the square’s history: from the construction of the Muslim Tower in the twelfth century to the present time. Along the way, we come across significant milestones in the construction: in the eighteenth century the Temple “Nuestra Sra. de los Ángeles”, soon after the Chapel “De La Comunión”, in the nineteenth century “La Casa de Correos” (post office) and in the twenty first century comes the possibility of organizing the whole set; linking these important landmark images in a sequence of public spaces and using the square as a common link.

This is the idea of our project. A tour around the new places will allow pedestrians to appreciate the Chapel “De La Comunión” volume, the temple’s buttresses, the façade’s altarpiece and the Muslim tower. Dimensions and shapes of the buildings on which we intervene are at the service of this visual sequence, emptying the lower floors and letting the space flow through time, from century to century……
