Summary
Historic cities, like Segovia, are dynamic entities shaped by successive layers of urban development, reflecting their rich cultural and architectural heritage. This study reveals that understanding a city's morphology—its form and evolution over time (morphogenesis)—is crucial for preserving its historical identity. By analyzing Segovia from its origins to the 21st century, the research identifies key immutable phenomena that define its character while highlighting the need for meticulous documentation, including architectural drawings and archaeological findings, to reconstruct its urban fabric at each stage. The findings underscore the importance of integrating morphological analysis into conservation strategies to maintain the city's historical image amid modern urban challenges.
