The transformation of Santiago de Compostela's Santa Susana and its tree-lined avenue: city and heritage

The following article analyses the transformations that have taken place on Santa Susana hill in Santiago de Compostela in terms of heritage, and brings together a number of contributions from different fields. "Heritage" should be understood as a combination of values, contributions and knowledge of a specific topic. Home to a number of buildings of great historical and artistic importance, Santa Susana hill is also valuable as a historical source. Though closely linked to that of the city itself, its history runs parallel to it. It does not conform to the pattern of an "urban city", preserving in its interior natural, spatial and heritage values that are unique in its environment.
