The ‘Landscapes of (Re)Conquest’ project investigates the dynamics of medieval frontier societies in Southwest
Europe through the lens of the cultural landscape. It compares diverse regional borderlands in Spain,
created by successive waves of Islamic and Christian conquests, with the Pyrenean frontier on either side of
the Albigensian Crusade and aims to reconnect the castles of frontier authorities with their associated territories
from a heritage perspective.
