La identidad del paisaje: la huerta andalusí y castellana de Murcia en el siglo XIII

This article studies the reconstruction of the landscape of the irrigated land of Murcia in the 13th century, at the time when it came under the dominion of Castile. The interpretation of Arabic and Castilian texts, together with archaeological testimonies, allows us to analyse how an ancient natural landscape of water and land had been transformed by the Muslims with the foundation of Madinat Mursiya in the 9th century. This legacy of a cultivated landscape of orchards and gardens began to change, however, with the arrival of the Christians during the final decades of the 13th century. Personal names and place names, on the other hand, did not change in the same way.
