Based on a psychogeographical exploration, the authors trace a counter-map of the city, guided by the memory of the deceased. The reader will discover how these cities were built over ancient Romantic, medieval, Jewish, or Muslim cemeteries, whose remains still emerge today during construction work and renovations. The essay notebook chronicles how these places were refuges for poets and bohemians, scenes of combat during the Civil War, and witnesses to urban neglect, while the maps allow for the location and understanding of these hidden necropolises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUrban psychogeography and exploration of hidden spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLost cemeteries of Madrid and Barcelona\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of Romantic, medieval, Jewish, and Muslim necropolises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical memory and urban planning in the post-war period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eArt and bohemian culture linked to cemeteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at lovers of local history, those interested in urban archaeology, psychogeography, and tales of mystery and memory.
