The Portuguese City of Braga During the Modern Era

This history of Braga from the late fifteenth century to the present reacts strongly against what the author describes as the current empiricist models for the historical study of the city. In practice this means an alternative focus on concepts of landscape, looking at how Braga's identity was mirrored in and formed by its layout, and the work of its archbishops, elites and citizens in stamping their image on the city.
