La exhacienda de El Cristo en Puebla, de molino a zona escolar. Investigar para valorar, valorar para conservar

Abstract

The cultural heritage of a society includes the properties and manifestations that contribute to its identity, that is why they deserve to be conserved.  The buildings of the ex hacienda ‘El Cristo’ in Puebla are deteriorated due to its underestimation, therefore, the present paper seeks to contribute to its public appreciation, for the best conservation of this heritage. The history of these buildings, which currently host three public schools, began more than 270 years ago. It is an example of rural development around the city, it reflects the importance of rivers for Puebla and explains the configuration of the eastern area of the city, all around the ex hacienda. Thus the knowledge of its history would contribute to its appreciation by the residents of that area, recognition necessary to justify an adequate conservation project.
