Abstract


The traditional techniques of brick masonry in Valencia, mainly in the 17th and 18th centuries, are highly interesting to understand the urban distribution of the city. This period is featured by a huge development of the local brick production and the expansion of cheap and simple masonries lacking building specialists. Direct and indirect documentary sources enable to find out really interesting unknown aspects about the mensiochronological evolution of bricks, their joints and finishing techniques typical of the city centre.
