다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

During the colonial times in Latinamerica, the Spanish con-quistadors founded their towns as centres of power on sites formerly occupied by the centres of the Indian empires. The earliest royal in-structions and government decrees indicated that a geometric grid was to be used, but not until 1573 did king Philip II`s ordinances ex-plicitly direct that the gird be used in city planning, thereby codify-ing practices long in effect. Spanish urban planning was based on the grid plan with a Plaza Mayor facing the sea and surrounded by gov-ernment and religious edifices. Under the colonial city planning, the principal edifices indigenous charged with political and religious symbolism destroyed and constructed new monuments, aggressively Catholic and Spanish, on the admirable cyclopean masonry of the de-molished walls of these buildings. The colonial cities converged to serve complementary economic, social, political, and religious goals. Particularly Caribbean towns are an example of urbanism in a bar-oque colonial city, with a reticular and regular plan, its urban trace, a model of colonial port cities, reflects the main role that it played as a commercial and military connection point. During the second half of the 16th century Caribbean towns was systematically at-tacked by pirates and corsairs in the pay of enemies of Spain; this is why a large-scale defensive system was installed.
