• Resumen

  • One part of the Douro landscape has been classified, in 2001, by UNESCO as Cultural, Evolutionary, and Live (World Heritage), the result of the historical process of adapting a mountainous territory, from adverse conditions to viticulture. Until today its integrity and authenticity are revealed in its mosaic. In addition to involving extensive areas of vineyards, patches of scrub and Mediterranean forests, and water lines, it is also composed of diverse cultures, walls, casais and quintas.As units of settlement, agricultural exploitation, territorial and social power, Quintas still contain a wealthy and plural heritage and landscape legacy, becoming fundamental in preserving and strengthening this region cultural memory and identity. However, the lack of information and the ignorance of its intrinsic value can lead to abandonment or destruction, making it urgent to identify these and their architectural and landscape values. However, in response to the contemporary world demands, many of these quintas have reinvented themselves, managing, in some cases, to preserve part of their identity by combining traditions with innovative elements, resulting in added value for their sustainability.This study makes it possible to identify, qualify and disseminate the heritage of the Douro’s Quintas, focusing on the spatial, formal, ornamental, and recreational characteristics of its gardens, living and ephemeral works of art that it is urgent to (re)discover in order to envisage strategic solutions for your safeguard.
