It presents the comprehensive catalogue of 45 destroyed monuments with thorough architectural and historical analyses of those with sufficiently preserved documentation, and reconsiders the city’s urban development from its foundation in 641 to the 15th century on the basis of a critical revision of historical topographic data.
