Patrimonio natural y culturalLas Tobas y la Villa de Orbaneja del Castillo. Un entendimiento obligado

Abstract

Tuffs can be considered as a valuable natural heritage, Geomorphosites interwoven with the cultural heritage. In Orbaneja del Castillo both elements, are integrated generating landscapes of exceptional value. The high cultural value of the landscape is supported by the hydraulic resources generated by the presence of a large tufaceous building. Tufa determined the organization of urban and rural areas and so, natural and cultural elements are inextricably integrated to provide a historical and artistic heritage value to the whole. The geomorphological elements are not just a backdrop, they are an essential and dynamic component of the cultural monument, that must be incorporated into the management of Historic Complex in its management, conservation and assessment as a integrated resource (cultural, tourist, territorial).
