Located above the Roman City of Obulco, the “La Calderona” in Porcuna (declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2014) is a water storage tank which, given its typology, is assumed to be linked to the water infrastructure of the municipium, and possibly to the public baths. At that time during the Roman Empire, with the growth of the population and the need to expand the city limits, the inhabitants covered the area with large stone slabs and pillars, onto which new buildings were erected. This would become the largest walled city in Roman Spain. The passage of centuries, and the evolution of history, added successive layers which contributed to the pre-existing buildings of the 1st Century BCE being definitively buried, both physically, and in terms of memory.

The house is placed between dividing walls, in the consolidated historical city. The surrounding area of the dividing walls blurs a complex line that forces to lean the house over itself, leaving out the peripheral tangible reality. Rejecting the outside in order to create a new world inside. The complexity in this context lies in a part of the house being an “engalaberno” of the adjacent house. This situation results in a part of a property overlapping other one. Continue reading Pablo Millán
