Inurbanarcheology,ancientcartographyisoneoftherichestsourcesofknowledge, which plays a particularly important role in helping to understand, interpret and explain the use of spaces throughout the centuries. This is because the city, which is intended to investigate, has a historical stratigraphy. It should be remembered, however, that an incorrect reading of cartographic sources can be misleading when reconstructing or interpreting the urban past. The combination of historical cartography (relevant for the interpretation of archaeologi- cal findings) with archaeology, allowed a reconstitution and interpretation of the evolutionary processes of the physical transformations of Lagos, through the ages; but also to present a more rigorous chronology for this evolution. However, for cartography to serve historical and archaeological studies it is necessary to know very well which are the objectives of a particular cartographic drawing and the different purposes. Therefore, we must ask about the histori- cal context in which the drawings were produced and try to answer the following questions: By whom was it drawn? For whom? Because? For what? What is represented? What remains to be represented and what archeology can help to unravel? The municipal investment in the requalification of the primitive nucleus and the municipal equipment located in it, some of them integrating sections of the wall and towers, together with private investment in the rehabilita- tion of buildings, has resulted in a fruitful archaeological intervention. The combination of the archaeological data with the written sources and with the old cartography has allowed to know better the fortification and the medieval urban organic and to characterize the urban evolution.

José de Sande Vasconcelos foi um engenheiro militar que iniciou o seu trabalho no Algarve (Portugal) por volta de 1772. A ida para o Reino do Algarve, como era então designado, esteve relacionada com a Restauração desta região levada a cabo pelo rei D. José I e seu ministro, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (Marquês de Pombal). Durante a sua estadia, de 1772 até ao ano da sua morte, em 1808, José de Sande Vasconcelos produziu mais de centena e meia de levantamentos cartográficos do território algarvio, desde mapas corográficos, estatísticos, topográficos, hidrográficos, geográficos, levantamentos de todos os fortes, fortalezas e baterias, alçados de quartéis e edifícios públicos, entre outros. Desse conjunto cartográfico, expusemos uma reflexão sobre o uso da cartografia ou desenho cartográfico para contar, ilustrar e rememorar temas que são menos comuns na cartografia como as celebrações de carácter barroco, de que são exemplo as festas de inauguração da recém construída Vila Real de Santo António e a entrada do Bispo D. José Maria de Melo no Reino do Algarve.

Since the Middle Ages the square was the synonym of a market;; however, as the square was the main public space, the market could not affect the religious and council activities that took place there. For that reason, it was necessary to define the area for the commercial exchanges, especially under circumstances when there was the need to articulate the various functions that the square embraced. The documentation from the XVI to the XVIII centuries reveals that the main buildings that were built on the square, such as the Church and the Town hall, had the clear intention to mark their representativity on that space, and could not be invaded by the salesman’s. This paper deals with these realities in one of the main squares of the city of Évora.

La ocupación de la villa de Covilhã en la Edad Media se fue haciendo de fuera hacia dentro, por la tendencia natural de la población a concentrarse en los arrabales, que estuvieron ocupados por la judería y por núcleos que se fueron desarrollando alrededor de las iglesias. Únicamente a partir de comienzos del siglo XVI la villa intramuros ganó densidad, definiéndose entonces calles y edificios, que se fueron ajustando al articulado del relieve en un enmarañado sinuoso. El desplazamiento del espacio publico hacia el exterior de las murallas, a principios del siglo XVI, se presentó como elemento modelador y estructurante de la villa, uniendo las zonas intra e extramuros como un todo e anunciando una nueva centralidad, de la que dan testimonio material el edificios de la Casa Consistorial y Cárcel y el Matadero. Únicamente teniendo presentes estos fenómenos cabe entender hoy la disposición desordenada de la malla urbana de Covilhã, que se extiende formando varios núcleos por la ladera de la Sierra de la Estrella. A cuya sombra la villa nació y se desarrolló.

In the 16th century new market spaces appear in the urban structure of Lisbon, where the focus functions are concentrated (administrative, religious and economic). In the 17th century and beginning of the 18th century these urban areas are already consolidated, enabling the necessary understanding of the rhythm of the economic activities that engage and differ from market to market, depending on the characteristics of the space. In the second half of the 18th century there is a renewal of the former trading spaces. The reasons that led to the demise of the previous points of sale — many of them destroyed by the earthquake of November 1st 1755 — relate to the need to regulate the market, end the dirty spaces, the clandestine street sales and prevent the opening of unauthorized shops.
How did the different market areas work? Who sponsored and controlled those areas? How were the relations between traders and dealers? How did dealers and customers relate? These and other questions will be answered in the following text.
Keywords: Lisbon; urban design; market; power supply; 16TH-18th centuries.

Este curso procura salientar a relevância do Algarve no contexto nacional durante os séculos XV e XVI, como local estratégico de apoio às expedições marítimas portuguesas. Procurar-se-á explorar esta temática a vários níveis e sob uma perspectiva abrangente: o papel geo-estratégico da região, o crescimento económico, o desenvolvimento dos portos marítimos e das povoações algarvias, a arte e a arquitectura daquém e dalém mar, entre outros. Para tal, para cada uma das sessões do curso serão convidados vários especialistas e serão realizadas duas visitas guiadas (Lagos e Tavira).
