Geomonumental Routes: a useful tool for popularising the built heritage

The Geomonumental Routes entail a new proposal for the popularization of architectural heritage based on the geological materials that have shaped it, their behaviour and decay and how to preserve them. These routes take into account both social and scientific perspectives, being a novel method for...

The prefix «Geo» highlights the link between geology and monuments, as any human urban settlement is conditioned by the geology for its placement; also the main resources for building are extracted from the Earth. The role of the stone within the built heritage confers a major value to it, and by itself. A heller knowledge of stone as a building material accounts for a different way of preserving and valuing built heritage. Geomonumental Routes lake visitors on a journey from the surrounding area lo the inside of the monument.
