Resumen
Las escaleras son una de las construcciones más antiguas de la humanidad, desempeñando un importante papel en la
historia de la arquitectura. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo la caracterización de las circulaciones verticales
en el Centro Histórico de Cienfuegos en el período de 1850 a 1950 de acuerdo a sus trazados tipológicos, estructurales
y diseños arquitectónicos y estilísticos. El proceso metodológico comprendió: la localización de fuentes documentales,
el trabajo de campo para determinar la población física y verificar la documentación encontrada y la selección y análisis
de la muestra, que se corresponde con las escaleras conservadas íntegras o escasamente modificadas. Los aportes de
este trabajo consistieron en la confección de un inventario y la realización de fichas descriptivas de la mayor parte de las
escaleras localizadas en el Centro Histórico de la ciudad, lo cual posibilitó consecuentemente la caracterización de estos
elementos. La mayor parte de las circulaciones verticales que integran el valioso patrimonio construido con que cuenta
el Centro Histórico de la ciudad de Cienfuegos conservan su fisonomía y valores originales, constituyendo el testimonio
de su época de mayor esplendor arquitectónico y el reflejo e historia de las costumbres y modo de vida de sus habitantes,
como parte de la herencia histórica y estilística de nuestros antecesores.
Stairways are one of the most ancient constructions of humanity, playing an important role in architecture history. The present work had as objectives the characterization of vertical circulations in the Historical City Center of Cienfuegos during the period from 1850 to 1950 according to its typological, structural outline and architectonic and stylistic designs. The methodological process includes: localization of documentary sources, the work in the field to determine physic population and to verify the found documentation, as well as the selection and analysis of the sample, which corresponds to the stairways entirely conserved or barely modified. The contributions of this work are the confection of an inventory and the production of descriptive cards of the better part of the stairways located in the Historical City Center, what allowed, consequently, the characterization of these elements. The better part of the vertical circulations that form the valuable constructed patrimony with which the Cienfuegos´ Historical City Center counts, conserve their original features and values, being this the testimony of an age of greater architectonic magnificence, as well as the reflex and history of customs and way of living of its citizens, as part of the historical and stylistic inheritance of our ancestors.
