Fatinafar agricultural estate (Granada) and its heritage remains

Abstract

Fatinafar was an irrigated agricultural estate in the fertile plain of Granada, located at the Northwest end of its township. The successive agricultural survey and cadastres concerning this estate have been preserved since the 16th century to nowadays, representing this case a very valuable exception that allows recomposing its configuration and morphological development during these centuries. At the end of the 19th century the site hosted San Juan refinery, and, since the beginning of the following century, the San Isidro sugar factory was also located there. They both represent one of the most important sugar manufacturing complexes of Granada´s environment and a first magnitude industrial heritage.
