Summary

This work reveals three hither to unpublished interventions in the civil architecture of the Town of Durango in second half of the 17th century, a time of considerable building activity in that town. One of them originated as a private initiative and the other two were public initiatives. These three elements have now disappeared. However, interesting data on their reconstruction are published in this work. The author concretely refers to the rebuilding of the practically unknown Tower in the Canton de la Calle de en Medio (Canton of the Middle Street) in 1670. It also refers to a reparation in the Portal (gate) of the Olmedal in 1666, and to the construction of stairs to the Portal de la Cruz in 1671.
