The history of the city of Granada through its engravings: Historia tamquam pictura

Abstract

With the observation of the engravings made in Granada in the 16 and 17th centuries, we approach to the study of its historical evolution and its people, their way of thinking and to the most important events that happened there, in the transition of a society medieval and Muslim to a Christian one, first humanist and then counter-reformist. The engravings not only showed, but contributed to build that history and confirmed it for the future.
