In 1992, the World Heritage Convention became the first international agreement to recognize and promote cultural landscapes protection, defining them as “combined works of nature and man”. However, the cultural landscape term and concept date back from the end of the 19th century. Developed by German geographers, was gradually appropriated and applied in other disciplines, assuming different meanings, according to each school´s methods and traditions, academic and professional visions from diverse scientific contexts. Aware that cultural landscapes are the scope of many multidisciplinary approaches, both in the field of environmental sciences and in anthropology, ethnology or aesthetic and literature subjects, we intended to do a brief review on the evolution of the concept, confine to the scientific context where appeared, under discussion for a long time.
