136178	Laura_Pizarro_Jacinto	Spain Cáceres	This panel, titled “La hidráulica en la ciudad histórica: El agua en la ciudad”, is part of the interpretive displays in the Museo de Semana Santa de Cáceres. It interprets the relationship between the city and water, tracing how springs, cisterns, baths, and mills sustained urban life from antiquity to modern times. Upper Section: The main heading “El agua en la ciudad” introduces the theme. A brief introduction explains the importance of the Ribera del Marco, a watercourse running along Cáceres, together with numerous cisterns, aljibes, and wells that supplied water to the population. A map shows the distribution of hydraulic features, including cisterns, chambers, and ruins of water-related constructions. A key explains the color-coded map symbols (cisterns/aljibes, chambers/buildings, ruins). Middle Section: A Braille transcription band runs horizontally, ensuring accessibility for visually impaired visitors. Multilingual text (Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, French) appears in blocks, each marked with a colored circle containing its initial (s, e, p, d, f). Lower Section – “Elementos singulares” (Unique Features): Highlights particular hydraulic structures that survive in Cáceres: Thermal baths (located in the Palacio del Mayoralgo), with diagrammatic reconstructions of features such as the palestra, sauna, cold-water pool, and hot rooms. Molinos (mills) used for grinding grain, with explanatory diagrams. The Aljibe (cistern), one of the most distinctive monuments of Cáceres, presented as a vaulted underground space built in stone and mortar. Illustrative diagrams provide cutaway views of these structures, complementing the textual explanations. Linguistic Landscape Analysis Multilingualism and Accessibility Information is offered in five European languages and Braille, ensuring international reach and inclusive access. The colored-circle system clarifies navigation for multilingual audiences. Multimodality The panel combines maps, explanatory diagrams, photographs, text, and Braille, offering multiple entry points into the content. The technical reconstructions of baths and mills are particularly striking, visually translating archaeological remains into understandable forms. Cultural Framing The narrative frames water not only as a basic resource but as a shaper of urban culture. By emphasizing features like baths and mills, the panel highlights how water infrastructures were tied to social practices, hygiene, and economic production. Semiotics of Place The map situates hydraulic elements within Cáceres, making them part of the city’s identity and visible heritage. The Aljibe is foregrounded as an emblematic monument, tying the local hydraulic history to the city’s UNESCO World Heritage status.	PALRA

135924	Laura_Pizarro_Jacinto	Spain Cáceres	Spanish Carlos V : “Charles V” (Holy Roman Emperor, 16th c.). Asador Carlos V : “Grillhouse Carlos V” → a restaurant name invoking history. Latin (symbolic/historical) Around the medallion: IMP·CAES·CAROLVS V·AVG Short for Imperator Caesar Carolus Quintus Augustus (Emperor Caesar Charles V Augustus). Classical Latin used for prestige, evoking imperial power and tradition. The bronze relief portrait of Charles V reinforces the link between heritage and commercial branding. The mix of materials (bronze, stone-like textures) communicates permanence and prestige. Hybrid function: This sign blends heritage (Latin, historical figure) with commerce (Spanish restaurant name), making history consumable for visitors. It illustrates how the linguistic landscape can commodify history, transforming cultural memory into a marketing tool.	PALRA
