Abstract

In the 1920s, permits to build lime kilns were sought in several cities in the Canary Islands, after undergoing changes to their locations and conditions over time. Whether situated close to resources (quarries, wood or worksites), or accessible and well-communicated areas (ports, roads, etc.), these combustion structures have been woven into the urban fabric, fully disappearing or contrariwise becoming integrated into cities as part of the civil construction grid. This article analyses the industrial heritage of lime by means of bibliographic, planimetric and aerial-photographic documentation, both historical and recent.
