Abstract

The development of the modern city frequently has left historical fortifications as faint traces within the urban fabric. In Catania’s Antico Corso district, decaying fragments of walls are incor- porated into recently built structures. This research investigates the relationships between these buildings and pre-existing structures, reflecting on potential connections and strategies for en- hancing the historic district.
