De la mano de Martín Torres Marquez, Santa María de Trassierra (Córdoba) en 1752 según las respuestas generales del catastro del marquás de la Ensenada es un libro a través de cuyas páginas el lector tiene la posibilidad de llevar a cabo un acercamiento a la historia, al paisaje y a los modos de vida de un pequeño fragmento de territorio que, inmerso en el mundo mariánico, conecta funcional y económicamente con la ciudad de Córdoba.
