Summary
The app Hidden Valencia demonstrates the potential of new technologies, particularly locative media, to bridge historical knowledge and contemporary urban experiences. By leveraging geolocalized maps and narrative guides from the 15th–17th centuries, it invites users to explore the remnants of Valencia's past—such as its public spaces during the Germanías Revolt (1519–1522)—and their connections to modern urban life. Unlike traditional divulgation methods, Hidden Valencia offers an immersive, interactive way to uncover historical layers, emphasizing continuity and rupture in urban development while engaging diverse audiences, including historians, urban planners, and the general public.
