Abstract
The graphic analysis of the historic centres of our cities is presented as a booming model of research, enlightened by the growing socio-economic interest in these historic heritage centres.
Faced with this analysis, we are faced with various methodological difficulties from the graphic point of view, one of them being the concrete definition of the borders of the areas of study in each urban nucleus.
The limits of what we now understand as a historic or pre-industrial city have been diluted and erased in the traumatic process of vertiginous and disorderly growth of contemporary cities.
These marks or delimiting traces of the historical have, however, different characteristics: they can be both physical - geographical accidents, natural elements, pre-existences - and artificial - mainly walls - but, undoubtedly, they are always related to the original location adopted by the first urban settlement in each particular case.
By means of a detailed study of the cartography of the historic city, this work shows a graphic approach to the definition of these limits understood as the juxtaposition of the current city and the historic centre based on the exhaustive series of maps of Spanish cities that Francisco Coello made for the minister Pascual Madoz in the second half of the 19th century.
