La gestión de los cementerios históricos en el marco del planeamiento contemporáneo: la necrópolis judía de Toledo

Abstract

Despite the multiple discussion forums and specialist conferences that have dealt with the problem of the exhumation of Jewish remains, today we are at a standstill, unable to solve a management problem that affects many of the countries around us and that recurs periodically. The case of Toledo serves as a reference to understand the main problems that face the city, traditionally labeled as "the city of three cultures". Christians, Jews and Muslims coexisted throughout the Middle Ages and their past is now tied to the present not only in the city remains but also in its main burial sites. The rational expansion of the city requires the inclusion of these burial places in its urban planning to allow for their due protection.
