Abstract

This paper studies the question of Historic Sites from the theoretical level of international production, to the more specific one at the area of Castilla y León. It is characterized their state and the relationship with their urban and regional context. It is done from the knowledge of its complexity and the hypothesis of the need to adapt the intervention instruments intended to protect and incorporate these areas into the contemporary city. The sum of conditions that define the current state of this urban heritage can be understood in this sense: recognition of their values, population, physical qualities, troubles and expectations generated.
Among the advanced conclusions is included the diversity of situations encountered and the existence of an inflexible and maladaptive safeguard statutory criterion. Also it is recognized how the recent urban dynamics, policy and market-oriented, tend to functional and social simplification of certain areas.
