Abstract

ABSTRACT From chronological, constructive and heritage conservation points of view the Roman bridge of Alcántara (Spain) is an exceptional bridge. Erected around 103 AD on the Tagus River, it is still in use today for road traffic. Recently, the construction of a new bridge 200 meters upstream from the old one, intended to relegate the old bridge to pedestrian use, has been promoted. The examination of the new project and its long administrative procedure, as well as the analysis of the characteristics of the Roman bridge and its surroundings, both from a territorial and social point of view, provide a foothold to assess the new bridge according to a broad conception of heritage conservation. The objective of this work is to underline the unique history of the conservation of this bridge and, while presenting proposed solution for the new bridge, to highlight the patrimonial conditions that have been taken into account. The conclusion is that the administrative procedure followed in order to choose the solution and the project for the new Alcántara bridge are not adequate to the characteristics of such an outstanding monument.

西班牙新建Alcántara大桥

摘要从时间、建筑和遗产保护的角度来看，阿尔坎塔拉罗马桥（西班牙）是一座非凡的桥梁。建于公元103年左右的塔霍河上，至今仍用于道路交通。最近，在旧桥上游200米处建造一座新桥，旨在将旧桥降级为行人使用。对新项目及其漫长的行政程序的审查，以及从领土和社会角度对罗马桥及其周围环境的特征的分析，为根据广泛的遗产保护概念评估新桥提供了立足点。这项工作的目的是强调这座桥保护的独特历史，并在提出新桥的拟议解决方案的同时，强调已考虑的遗产条件。结论是，为选择新阿尔坎塔拉大桥的解决方案和项目所遵循的行政程序不足以满足这样一座杰出纪念碑的特点。

期刊介绍： Heritage & Society is a global, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholarly, professional, and community reflection on the cultural, political, and economic impacts of heritage on contemporary society. We seek to examine the current social roles of collective memory, historic preservation, cultural resource management, public interpretation, cultural preservation and revitalization, sites of conscience, diasporic heritage, education, legal/legislative developments, cultural heritage ethics, and central heritage concepts such as authenticity, significance, and value. The journal provides an engaging forum about tangible and intangible heritage for those who work with international and governmental organizations, academic institutions, private heritage consulting and CRM firms, and local, associated, and indigenous communities. With a special emphasis on social science approaches and an international perspective, the journal will facilitate lively, critical discussion and dissemination of practical data among heritage professionals, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
