Abstract

The town of Moguer had considerable importance in the preparations and the Columbian enterprise, providing economic resources, materials, ships, sailors and political and social influence. From this historical event, there is a broad relatíonship between the town and its people with America that would continue throughout the centuries. These ties result in todav's Moquer whose importance, heritage and character have a wide correlation with the in influed of American continent and the historical events that link it, generating and sustaining an interesting American legacy on which this doctoral thesis is based. Considering the historical course, the artistic and architectural creation and the cultural value, the study has special relevance for analyzing and assimilating the management of the legacy from a cultural, heritage and even educational point of view. For this, two large blocks are defined, one that focuses on the management and status of cultural assets, mainly religious, proposing a discourse and model related to the concerns of this thesis. On the other hand, the importance and development of public spaces as places of identity in which the tiles, sculptures and names of streets and squares that are located in order to pay homage to characters and historical events of Moguer and America take on special importance. Sorne buildings such as the monastery of Santa Clara, the convent of San Francisco or the parish church of Santa María were a faithful reflection of the transit between both shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Faith of this was given by the Indians of Moguer who accumulated wealth in the New World and invested in enhancing the cultural heritage of the churches and monasteries of Moguer. Knowing the historical link and the presence of certain linkable heritage elements is a de facto fundamental premise of this study, to adequately focus the management 9f assets and collective discourse. As for public spaces, the toponymy, tiles and sculptures found in the urban area of Moguer are of interest, as well as the dimension of sorne of the characters such as Fray Antonio de Olivares, Luis de Torres, Pedro Alonso Niño or Bartolomé Ruiz de Estrada. On occasions, the importance of sorne of these protagonists has transcended the local barrier, finding tributes and accommodation in other parts of the Spanish and American geography. Within the urban area of Moguer, we pay special attention to the old port of Moguer. During the Modern Age it was a space of notable importance and movement. Its historical and geographical analysis helps us to understand the hierarchy of the place and the need to value it. After reviewing the different attempts and proposals, generating a viable framework for action on the wharf is vital for the focus of this doctoral thesis. In short, it is a cross-sectional study that is based on various areas of humanistic knowledge that make up our concept of heritage, such axes understood as cultural and tourist management, history, geography, art or anthropology, make up a common idea of the American legacy in Moguer and where we should focus its action.
