What Zaragoza, Spain looked like in the 1970s Through These Fascinating Photos

View of Calle del Saliente, in the Las Delicias neighborhood. This street, whose origin was in a branch of the Romareda irrigation channel, had its entrance on the Mosquetera road, and the exit on the Montevideo road, next to Oriente street, from which the inspiration for its construction was taken. peculiar denomination referring to the cardinal point of the east, or projection. The subsequent urbanization of the area turned the street into an alley with access and exit through Montevideo Street. In the background, the rear of the church of the Hijas de San José (josefinas) school, with the main entrance through Calle de la Duquesa de Beautiful villa.

In 1977, the block that formed Cerdán and Escuelas Pías streets was demolished, in the section of the current César Augusto avenue that leads from the Coso to the Central Market. In the background, the church of the Pious Schools.

San Lázaro Barracks, evicted from its military functions, in an image captured from the beginning of the Avenida de Cataluña. After the Confiscation of Mendizábal (1836-1837), the remains of the Mercedarian convent of San Lázaro and its site on the left bank, next to the Ebro River, were used for various purposes, such as a candle factory, a straw store and a pediment. Then it was, successively, municipal warehouse, correctional prison and infantry barracks, and again municipal warehouse. From 1874 it fell again to the Branch of War, which in 1888 finished the works on the building that the image illustrates, standing until the 1980s, when after Operation Barracks it was demolished by the City Council, and the site dedicated, mostly, to car and bus parking, with a green area in the vicinity of the Stone bridge, to the right and out of shot.

he entrance to Calle de Alfonso I from the Coso Alto, a recurring photographic motif in the city, is shown to be full of people on the occasion of the Pilar festivities. The luminous garlands guide the view in perspective, in the background, to the main dome of the Pillar. In the foreground, a city guard keeps the street closed to traffic for the occasion. The exposure of the image favors impossible overlaps between billboards and pedestrians.

At the time of capturing the image, these rental homes corresponded to numbers 58-76 on Paseo de Echegaray y Caballero, although those at numbers 58-64 (on the right) were already declared in ruin. Years later, in ruins or not, they were all demolished, and a modern building would later rise on their site.

Mudejar canvas of the wall of the Parroquieta de la Seo, in the first section of Calle del Sepulcro, between Plaza de La Seo (in the background, with a view of the Lonja and El Pilar) and Plaza de San Bruno (in the back of the photographer). At mid-height, the trace left by the demolition of the Archbishop's Arch stands out, and in the shadow of the Sevillian filigree of the 14th century, some vehicles adorn the picture, parked perhaps to enhance the aesthetic contrast.

The Casa de los Morlanes, from the mid-16th century, was so named because its façade was possibly carved by the sculptor Gil Morlanes El Joven, and even because this family would have lived there. In the last third of the 19th century it was the headquarters of the Piano Factory of Arilla, Menchaca y Compañía, and more recently the building became municipal property, which rehabilitated it and later dedicated it to various social and cultural services, including the Zaragoza Film Library, and since 1997 a new exhibition space in the basement.

That is why this square, called Ciria in the fifteenth century, in the eighteenth was already La Balsa, and from the mid-nineteenth century Asso. In its surroundings stood a good number of houses of noble or infanzona families. After the abandonment of this house at the beginning of the 1990s, the City Council took on the restoration of the façade, cataloged as an Asset of Architectural Interest. The owners, after completely demolishing its interior, built exclusive apartments and premises, with underground garages. To the left, facades of other old buildings, later demolished, and in the background, a stretch from Calle de Gavín to Calle Palafox.

Since 1860, the Argillo Palace housed the Colegio de San Felipe for rent. In 1943, the palace was declared a National Monument and, since 1946, it changed ownership and use. The National Organization of the Spanish Blind shared space with the Colegio de San Felipe (transferred in 1958). In 1970, ONCE also changed its address. In 1977 the Zaragoza City Council acquired the building. Being a National Monument, the Ministry of Culture financed some consolidation interventions to stop its progressive ruin. In 1979 an agreement was signed between the Ministry and the City Council, aimed at restoring the building and using it as a venue for artistic workshops. image, aspect of the Plaza de San Felipe in the vicinity of the Palacio de Argillo, on the right, and the Church of San Felipe, in the background.

Transporte Oruga Acorazado M-113 passes by a city bus on San Juan de la Peña Avenue, in the Picarral neighborhood, on its way from the military installations on the Huesca highway. For decades, the residents of the area had to endure the threatening passage of all kinds of military vehicles on their routes from the Arrabal Station to the maneuvering field, and vice versa, as is the case. The Picarral Neighborhood Association expressed to the civil and military authorities its rejection of this activity, which made urbanization of the area impossible: Every time maneuvers are carried out in the San Gregorio field, all the equipment is unloaded at the station ( of the suburb). The mobilizations and the passage of time eliminated them from the landscape. In the image, and to the right, the Los Molinos path begins.

Behind the wall on the left, the railway tracks. On the right, remains of the constructions attached to the Mobile Material factory and Carde y Escoriaza Constructions. In the background, Orús chocolate factory.

In the background stands out the building that makes a chamfer with the Paseo de Teruel, then occupied as a branch of Banco Zaragozano.

Eastern area of the Plaza del Pilar, in a view captured next to the lower door of the basilica and with the backdrop of the Plaza de la Seo.

The Zaragoza railway station, later called "Delicias" after the neighbourhood, was designed by the architect Luis Gutiérrez Soto, and inaugurated in 1932. The building was integrated into the group of buildings of the new Zaragoza Intermodal Station (project by the architects Carlos Ferrater and José Mª Valero). It was rehabilitated, and it was planned that it be refurbished as a railway exhibition space (works began in 2001), but something went wrong, and it is currently the inaccessible command post of the Madrid-Zaragoza-Barcelona high-speed line of the imposing new Delicias station, next to what looks like a model, or toy. It is Well Cataloged of the Aragonese Cultural Heritage.

Image of 125 Madrid avenue with the old building leading to Unceta street (right), a sample of the type of buildings that characterized both sides of the old Madrid highway as it passed through the Delicias neighborhood. The capture allows us to observe the suspicious brick wall that is being raised on its ground floor, an unequivocal sign that this building's time has come, and it must take over from a new building generation that makes better use of the empty space above. from its third floor, reaching in height up to cousin number 7, and thus reaching its neighbor on the left. Between the cobblestones, the tram tracks of the Delicias line, which only had one year of service left: in 1971 It will be abolished and replaced by urban bus line 33.

The 1970s were very lavish in Zaragoza in terms of demolitions, whether by hand or machine, or both combined. This is one more example in an area far from the center. It is a picture of the section of Martín Cortés street between Escosura, from where the photograph was taken, and José García Sánchez, in the background. On the left, demolition by hand of the old plot of number 33 of the old Roche street, now Escosura, when this was the last home on what was then a long dirt-floored street that reached here from the Zaragoza-Valencia highway. , although it then continued in the form of a path that, after crossing the bank and the Rasa irrigation, to the left and through a path led to the Mosquetera path, and to the right, to the nearby Mobile Material and Construction Workshops. and even to the Cariñena railway station.
In this street of Escosura and at number 40, since 1964 there were the provisional facilities of the new parish of Nuestra Señora de la Almudena, one of those established during the large post-conciliar harvest of 1961-1971. After the construction in 1973 of the new block on the site of the image, which will receive number 20 on Martín Cortés street, this Almudena parish will be installed on its ground floor in more permanent facilities, at least until 2007, when the The Archbishopric sold the premises to move the parish to 71 Escoriaza y Fabro Street, in the northernmost area of ​​the Parque Roma urbanization.

To the left, and immediately, the walls behind which the young and Jesuit church of the Mother of El Salvador was demolished, barely as an advertising support for traditional and racial shows.

On the right, a tram composition pulled by Unit 51 descends from Torrero, which, in service since 1925, was retired a couple of years later, and scrapped in 1973.

The dense road traffic still includes tram elements. This capture was made by the Australian Lindsay Bridge on a bright day in June 1970, while passing through the city.

The metamorphosis of the Paseo de la Independencia, after its imposition as a motorway, sympathetically prompted the move of some of the buildings that flanked it, from the Plaza de España to the Plaza de Paraíso. Thus, the Plaza de Aragón began to undergo its particular building "transition", which in the image is dramatically contrasted between the bright, modern and attractive blocks, and the dark, old and gloomy mansions that disfigured the surroundings, and did little to help the image of a city like the new Zaragoza of the (economic) miracle. This flaw would be practically corrected in the following decade.

Next to the Casablanca service station, to the right of the image, a herd of sheep, riding goats, crosses the Vía de la Hispanidad, a recent name for the old Los Enlaces highway. On the left, the new Gran Vía industrial estate, renamed La Romareda.

Image captured next to the entrance door to the parish church of San Miguel de los Navarros, during the departure of a canonical marriage bond carried out according to the Catholic liturgy, a complete visual treatise on the social anthropology of the time. The vehicle's burst of red destabilizes the preponderant color scheme of the ensemble, mostly in shades of blue, and almost steals the spotlight from the white bride.

The provincial building of the old number 17, almost in the center of the image, stands out for a persistent squalor that makes it almost invisible among the modern giants that flank it, a bad building remedy fortunately rectifiable, at the same time.

The covering of the trench of the direct railway, in this central place, gave rise to the establishment of free parking on the surface and on public land. In other words: this space was made exclusive in its use by the traffic driven by an internal combustion engine. Until very recently, when the "Zaragoza-Goya" railway station was installed here (April 2012), integrated into the C-1 line of "Cercanías Zaragoza" and with connections to some medium-distance trains.

Bernardo Fita street from the heights of street number 22, showing an unrepeatable view of the residential buildings on the side of the odd numbers that then made up this quiet street. To date, just over 50% of them have been replaced by larger ones, although fortunately the aberrations perpetrated in many other parts of the city have hardly had an echo here.

On the first floor there was a well-known restaurant that at that time was fully operational. The immediate presence of the Fire Station was not very useful, since the collapse was instantaneous.
