Abstract

A more lyrical history will hold different views of the world's iconic cities in an evolving environment: from its splendor to its destruction, discovery and recovery of their remains. The issue revolves around how poets see the urban environment of cities? How creators saw centuries ago an iconic city and how are today? How new technologies affect these special cities and how you can protect a genre as weak and as strong as poetry to the cities, some of them World Heritage? Cities like Medina Azahara, palace city of the tenth century, during the reign of Abd al-Rahman III, in the splendor of the Umayyads. The paper discusses how the city looked poets of the time and how they have been or are now in the XXI century. It will also address the lyrical visions of cities like Cordoba, Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Prague, New York, Madrid, Granada, Lisbon, Havana and Seville. Vision of the city and its memory, its people. Looks mythical, Hallowed and looks simple on the city stuck in the past or living in the future. Exactly how those looks through privileged, that shine can preserve the past in the present and animate them for the future.
