Sumario:The Historic Center of Cuenca, as every American city founded by the Spaniards, has been developed over an urban grid -an apparently repetitive regular urban fabric-. This article analyzed twenty-five blocks of the Historic Center, identified and located elements that break this grid regularity, through a mapping that distinguished the private form the collective spaces in the study area. Subsequently, it sought for common spatial characteristics in these spaces that allowed them to be categorized. Finally, the spatial configuration of each category was described, based on the space delimitation elements -recinto, portal, aula- and their possible combinations. As a result of this process, twenty-seven examples of spaces grouped into six categories were identified. These categories can be useful in order to analyze other case studies, with different urban tissues, scales and diversity
