Abstract
El centro histórico de Camagüey posee como singularidad
ser el de mayor extensión del País con 330 ha. Se
estructura en 316 manzanas, 12 plazas y 18 plazuelas.
Existen 9 992 edificaciones situadas en este sector de la
Ciudad, de estas un 42 % poseen valor histórico,
arquitectónico o ambiental. Dentro de la irregular trama
urbana, donde las plazas, plazuelas y las torres de los templos
definen el paisaje urbano, el repertorio religioso encierra una
alta significación, caracterizando en la gran mayoría a los
citados espacios, motivo por el cual a Camagüey se le conoce
desde tiempos pasados como la ciudad de las iglesias.
Es muy importante para el centro histórico camagüeyano
contar con dos conjuntos homogéneos de alto valor: San
Juan de Dios y el Carmen, simbolizados ambos por la iglesia y
el convento. En estos conjuntos además de la arquitectura
religiosa, se destaca el repertorio habitacional definido por un
alto número de edificaciones, destacándose los ejemplos
pertenecientes a la denominada casa tradicional de influencia
barroca, pertenecientes a los siglos XVIII y principios del XIX.
Palabras clave: centro histórico; edificaciones; trama urbana; paisaje
