Abstract
This paper investigates the landscape of the north-eastern outskirts of Madrid, in the area where it links to the historical axis of the Camino de Aragón, today calle de Alcalá, from its historical configuration to its present reality. To this end, we analyse the transformation of the landscape identity of a route that condenses a distinct architectural type of Madrid, the country state, which, located between vast cereal fields, was progressively absorbed by a growing city. The purpose of this investigation is twofold: on the one hand, it aims to highlight the underresearched Quinta de los Molinos as a crucial part of the urban sequence. In addition, the study attempts to elucidate how a traditional typology has adapted to a new use, its insertion into a transformed urban fabric and its role in the future of the city.
