Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico presents a
fascinating survey of urban history between the sixteenth and
eighteenth centuries. It chronicles the creation and development of
Puebla de los Angeles, a city located in central-south Mexico,
during its viceregal period. Founded in 1531, the city was
established as a Spanish settlement surrounded by important
Indigenous towns. This situation prompted a colonial city that
developed along Spanish colonial guidelines but became influenced
by the native communities that settled in it, creating one of the
most architecturally rich cities in colonial Spanish America, from
the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. This book covers the city's
historical background, investigating its civic and religious
institutions as represented in selected architectural landmarks.
Throughout the narrative, Burke weaves together sociological,
anthropological, and historical analysis to discuss the city's
architectural and urban development. Written for academics,
students, and researchers interested in architectural history,
Latin American studies, and the Spanish American viceregal period,
it will make an important contribution to the field.
