The book “The urban evolution of Loulé: from the medieval period to the end of the modern era”, by the researcher Jorge Filipe Palma, is presented this Saturday, 27 November, at 17:00, at Palácio Gama Lobo, in Loulé.
This edition, printed by Edições Colibri, with the support of the Municipality of Loulé, will be presented by José Eduardo Horta Correia.
The work focuses on the urban history of Loulé over more than seven centuries and is essentially the result of the author's master's thesis in Algarve History.
"It contributes to clarifying the image of Loulé's public space and highlights the metamorphoses it underwent, from its foundation to the end of the modern period, focusing on the genesis of the city, on its evolution as an Islamic city, on the transformations suffered after the reconquest, in the expansion and consolidation during the medieval Christian era and in the growth in modernity», says Câmara de Loulé.
Jorge Filipe Palma has a degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Algarve (2001) and a Master's in Algarve History from the same institution (2016).
He is the author of several publications, highlighting the books “Toponymic Dictionary – Cidade de Loulé” (2009), “The house of the captain-mor of Alcoutim – Subsidies for its history” (2012) and “The national consecration of Duarte Pacheco – The construction of the monument of Loulé” (2013). He was a member of the Commission for the 450 Years of the Sovereign Mother (2003) and has been a member of the Municipal Commission of Toponymy of Loulé since 2007.
