Resumen

Murals are evidence of urban evolution and fulfil an aesthetic function, but they also highlight different values. In order to analyse the intrinsic values of the mosaic mural in the university city of Trujillo, Peru, a case study was carried out. A comprehensive array of data collection methods was employed, encompassing video recordings, testimonies, journalistic statements, photographic documentation, on-site observation records, and discourse analysis. The findings of this study revealed that the mural in question, hailed as the largest of its kind in Latin America, serves as an invaluable regional heritage asset, particularly in the domains of education, cultural identity, and tourism. © (2024), (Urban Creativity).
