El Viaje de España del Marqués de Valdeflores. Un intento fallido de catalogación de los monumentos y antigüedades de España

Abstract

Resumen: El viaje de España de Luis José Velázquez de Velasco fue el primer intento de catalogar las antigüedades de la nación, para su posterior utilización en una nueva Historia de España. Impulsado por la Corona, que puso a su disposición el aparato administrativo, para utilizar posteriormente la documentación conseguida en la cuestión del Patronato Regio frente al Papado. Se trató de la primera ocasión en que se dibujaron los monumentos antiguos, como ya había ocurrido en otras naciones de la época. Las convulsiones políti-cas del reinado de Fernando VI conllevaron la suspensión del apoyo político y económico a Valdeflores, quien consiguió terminar el viaje a su costa. A pesar de la importancia que tenía el trabajo, la documentación quedó inédita en los archivos de la Real Academia de la Historia, donde se conserva en la actualidad.

From an Enclosure to the Corraleja. An Analysis of the Genesis of an Ephemeral and Vernacular Colombian Architecture

“…(See Figure 13) Only in the second half of the 18th century was there a progressive transition towards circular solutions, which were better suited to the evolution of the "corridas" spectacle thanks to the renewed interest in neoclassical culture boosted by findings of the Roman era [17]. These models, quadrangular squares before, and circular shapes later, were also extended into the Spanish colonies such as in Mexico [18], and generally in South American countries such as Colombia, where Corraleja, the subject of this study, represents a direct expression [19].…”
