Abstract
GAMEZ CASADO, MANUEL. Religious Architecture in the New Granada. The Cathedral of Santa Marta during the 18th Century. Front. hist. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.1, pp.148-171. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.815.
The text presented aims to analyze the construction process of the Cathedral of Santa Marta during the eighteenth century. Although a series of necessary antecedents will be raised to clarify what happened during the 18th century, the intervention of architects and military en gineers throughout this century allowed to conclude the main religious building of the city. To clarify its importance in the context of the Nuevo Reino de Granada, starting from different publications and providing primary sources, new data and plans that contribute to the knowledge about the building will be published.
