Abstract

Roads are an essential element in the formation of landscapes. This paper, by establishing some of the key aspects of the development of these infrastructures from the mid18th century and according to previous experience, aims to guide the reading of landscapes shaped by roads in the last two century, through the location of stretches of historic transportation landscapes where roads from different periods coexist. The disassembled of landscapes formed by these roads has made it possible to identify the transformation in the design and construction of these infrastructures, the uses and activities
provided by the different routes and the changes in the forms of mobility.
