| los estados reales del territorio the actual states of the territory Explanation: Hi Lisa, I've found a translation of the same text on the University of Valencia's website (see link). Really not sure about it though, especially the "real" bit (hence the confidence level of 3). Will post anything else I find. Cheers. Reference: http://www.upv.es/entidades/ACU/noticia_768965i.html |

actual state of the city Explanation: I think actual state is ok: how it really was. To me it's more natural to put "state" in the singular in English; in each period/at each stage or whatever you put for "en cada momento" will make the plural sense clear, but at each period/stage it just had one state. And for "territorio" I would just put city; state of the territory makes it sound like a topographical map to me, and really it's referring to the layout of the city. |

(showing) the city's/the geographic configuration of the city at given points over time Explanation: Reading the entire paragraph this is how I logically understand it (cada momento is an exaggeration that won't fly in English). I think it makes sense to go by the facts: It's a book of maps about the city of Valencia, documenting it's various configurations (a term that includes topographic features as well as buildings, infrastructure, etc.) at various points in time. |
