Written by recognised specialists in architecture, urbanism or art history, and based in an awarded and exported teaching and research project which uses the city as a classroom and laboratory, its aim is to deepen one’s knowledge about the city, through tours as a way of approaching architecture, urbanism, sociology and history.

Each entry has a brief description that includes planning and completion dates, a summary explanatory description, and subsequent restoration and alterations with a graphic coding system.
