]]> The map shows the Valencian port line with more than 40 ports between 1250 and 1520. The seaways and ports contributed to the economic development of the region. There were 9 important ports: Valencia, Alicante, Denia, Gandía, Gandía, Cullera, Sagunto, Burriana, Castellón and Peñíscola; and smaller ports oriented to the proximity of the rural or semi-urban world. From the latter, products were shipped in kind to the city of Valencia to supply the market, or beyond the borders of the Kingdom. The maritime connection between Valencia and the towns by sea was extremely important during the second half of the 15th century, and there is evidence of the arrival of numerous cargoes in light sailing ships.

The post Number of baptised in the urban area of Bilbao and its distribution by parish (17th century) first appeared on History Lab.

]]> One of the forms of demographic control in the Modern Age was the accounting of people in the parish registers. This resource shows the number of baptisms performed in the parishes of an urban environment, Bilbao, during the 17th century. The importance of the figures for each of them is accompanied by the relevance of their spatial distribution throughout the city. The decrease and increase of baptisms is directly related to the number of parishioners in the tempos and, in turn, to urban demographic changes. Consequently, the author shows us how the growth of the suburbs, reflected in the parish of San Nicolás, contrasted with the decrease in baptisms in the central area, under the jurisdiction of the parishes of Santiago and San Antón. The change in the evolutionary trend of urban demography was parallel to the stagnation of trade, the main economic activity in Bilbao and other cities on the Cantabrian coast with similar trends.
