The first tenements of the XIX century are buildings with a dispersed
organization as they try to repeat the already existing models both in
shape and in function, such as collective houses around a patio or oth-
ers from townhouses. The exterior is characterized by a serial modu-
lation, the uses of linteled or lowered moulded arches, with adjacent
cornices for each floor and finishing the building with a powerful cor-
nice. In the late nineteenth century, clear regionalist and historicist
influences are noticeable in its decoration, mostly in the typology as it
becomes clearer and with better defined elements.
The houses of the early twentieth century, where the regionalist
houses predominate in relation to the historicist houses, have a
clearer typology, with an internal organization that is better de-
fined and where elements like the staircase, the air shaft, the or
the corridors are found with more harmonious relations, perhaps
caused by the use of a more regular and uniform plot plan, which
has enabled the ordering of these elements. Among the elements
that characterize them, we highlight the beautiful examples we can
find of hallway-stairs-patio, all decorated with facing brick, tiling,
and accompanied by the proper artistic locksmith.
On the facade is used, almost entirely, the moulded brick accom-
panied with tiling elements, also highlighting locksmith work of
the most funded houses, leaving simplicity and order to the most
modest ones.
The Peculiar Dwellings are residential buildings that do not have
typological characteristics comparable to some of the above groups
but their historic, architectural or urban presence value, make
them deserve some specific protection to protect the elements that
characterize them.
Finally, we have what we have called Peculiar Buildings, considered
these as those buildings that do not have the architectural features
or historical or ethnological values of buildings with a greater de-
gree of protection, but an specific protection for their preserva-
tion and enhancement of the most significant elements of them
is necessary.
Buildings of Urban Interest.
They are buildings with few recognizable typological values. These
values, which must be protected, are mainly in the facade or the
urban image they reflect to the outside and contribute to formalize
the image that the sector currently has.
Intervention criteria.
On the catalogued buildings it is intended that most of the works to
be conducted are for restoration and enhancement of the elements
that have been considered of interest and should be protected.
The works allowed in the catalogued buildings will be predomi-
nantly for restoration, which are exhibited in Articles 7.1.2 and
10.3.7 of the Urban Development Regulations of the Revised Text
of the General Urban Development Plan of 2006.
The elements to be protected for each typology will be generically de-
fined in the Catalogue, and cards will define these elements for each
building in a particular manner. On the other hand, within the ordi-
nances, will be introduced what the preservation of the elements con-
sidered protectedmeans, aswell as the potential interventions on them.
In Monumental Buildings (A and B), the permissible works performed
aimed at the preservation of the built heritage, allowing the minor re-
form in the catalogued “B” to facilitate any change of use or moderniza-
tion of the existing.
In Buildings with Typological Interest (C), the maximum permis-
sible level of work shall be the partial reform, the extension also
being allowed as long as it does not affect the original conception
of protected elements nor the relationships among them, and for
that guidelines of intervention for each identified typology that
have been provided.
In Buildings with Urban Interest (D), the maximum permissible
level of work shall be the general reform, and it may be replaced
from the first building corridor.
To demolish the protected elements of the catalogued buildings, a
determined declaration of ruin is necessary, besides being also re-
quired the compliance with the art. 36 of the Law of the Spanish
Historical Heritage, which requires the report of two advisory insti-
tutions considered on the said Act. Similarly, for the declaration of
ruins of these elements, it is also necessary to provide the report of
the Ministry of Culture in which it is noted the historical interest of
the same, and their possible inclusion in the General Catalogue of
the Andalusian Historical Heritage. This measure aims to avoid the
demolition of protected elements within the catalogued buildings
catalogued, and its destiny should be the restoration and recovery of
the historic hamlet. In any case, the procedure established in Articles
37 and 38 of Law 14/2007 of Andalusian Historical Heritage will be
mandatory.
Finally we should mention the heights of the catalogued buildings,
in the sense that each of them have been individually studied, as-
signing the proper height, as a result of their cataloguing, elements
to be protected, and their relationship with the surroundings, suf-
fering thus some variation from those assigned by the General
Plan. As a guide, we can say that the general criteria that have been
used are the following:
• For monumental buildings, “A” and “B”, the approach has been
to maintain the existing high, even marking different heights
within the same plot.
• For Buildings with Typological Interest, “C”, the general approach
has been tomaintain the existing height.
• For Building with Urban Interest “D”, the surroundings condi-
tions were studied, being more tolerant with coplanar exten-
sions, especially if there were facing middles.
6. Protected public sites
Within the sector are the Jardines de Murillo and the Paseo Catali-
na de Ribera, areas declared BIC as Historic Garden, and the Patio
de Banderas, whose inclusion is proposed in the BIC definition of
the”Real Alcázar and its Gardens”.
For these areas, the identifying relevant cards, in which the compo-
nent elements that must be protected are collected, will be created.
Similarly, in the Ordinance, the recommended works to perform
on these areas, which are none other than the preservation and
maintenance of the existing elements, shall be indicated.
