La aerofotografía para el estudio del patrimonio, el urbanismo y el paisaje rural: la colección del Archivo Nacional de Cataluña para la ciudad de Cáceres

There are various ways to study historical and artistic heritage and urban planning, one of them being aerial photography. In this case, we do so using the collection held at the National Archives of Catalonia, which has organized into several collections the images captured by TAF Helicópteros S. A. in the 1950s, flying over the city of Cáceres and its surroundings, as well as many other places in Spain. In this way, we will gain insight into how the expansion of neighborhoods and other areas in the urban landscape of Cáceres prospered, as well as the country houses and castles located in pastures to the south of the city. We will explore the information provided by these visual documents to understand the degree of conservation of these buildings and the shape the city has taken following urban expansion since the late 19th century.
