Abstract

The ‘ejidos’ have deep historical roots in the Hispanic and colonial systems of land tenure, first communal and then parceled. The Ejido of Cuenca is no stranger to this context. This paper follows the historical-cultural processes that influenced the construction of Cuenca's urban landscape from its foundation to the present, in order to analyze and reflect on how The Ejido is currently facing the erosion of the memory and affective links that the inhabitants have woven with this area, despite its declaration as a National Cultural Heritage. To this end, after a journey through the historical geography and landscape that defined the constitution of The Ejido, we delve, through interviews and social mapping, into an understanding of the processes of inhabiting and uninhabiting the memory of this historical area.
