Abstract

The methods used for reconstructing the picture of a determinated city through the Middle Age, have been diversed, depending on the existence ornot of important written documents or the knowledge through drawings or archaeological excavations. However, until this moment, it has not been conceded a special importance to the existence of water conductions (sometimes monumental ) like a support of an urban development dependent on these ones. These conductions can determinate the localization of public and private buildings, the creation of squares where public fountains were settle down, their role to determinate the growth of the city, etc. In addition, the water conductions provide us a clear view of the different social status, the fights between nobility and clergy, as well as the “Concejo” role. The city of Jaén, definited through the time by its waterabundance- because of the Magdalena's one (“Raudal de la Magdale- na”)- has been used to check the importance of this element within the studies of a city.
