Abstract
La ciudad de Melilla en sus 520 años formando parte del entramado urbano español,
ha ido transformándose, sobre todo a partir del siglo XX, en una ciudad moderna, tras el
"salto" que supuso aproximadamente en el año 1909, desde sus murallas renacentistas
hacia una urbanización en barrios, en consonancia con el aumento de espacio que supuso
un acontecimiento político e histórico: el Tratado de Wad Ras tras la denominada Guerra
de África, que sumió a España y al Sultán de Marruecos en 1859, y que implicó un
Trazado de límites que hizo ampliar el espacio de la ciudad. A partir de ese 1909, la
ciudad empieza a configurarse urbanísticamente desde dentro hacia la zona fronteriza,
más al sur, creándose los barrios que actualmente tiene.
The city of Melilla in its 520 years as part of the Spanish urban fabric, has been transformed, especially since the twentieth century, into a modern city, after the "jump" that was approximately in the year 1909, from its Renaissance walls to an urbanization in neighborhoods, in line with the increase in space that was a political and historical event: the Treaty of Wad Ras after the so-called War of Africa, which engulfed Spain and the Sultan of Morocco in 1859, and which involved a layout of limits that expanded the space of the city. As of that 1909, the city begins to be configured urbanistically from within towards the border area, further south, creating the neighborhoods that it currently has.
