Abstract
The material and spiritual necessity to bury corpses in Córdoba del Tucumán, not only in the period of Spanish dominion, but also after independences, implied the development of a series of burial costums, similar to the ones which were fulfilled in the rest of the New World. In the XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries, burials were done inside churches or in neighboring cemeteries, in certain spaces that acquired a singular meaning in relation to “the further on”. During the Seven hundred, the Borbones impelled the construction of cemeteries in open places, what took shape in the city in mid-XIX century, when de plague forced to accelerate the burials. The information required by the monarchs to the respective authorities, contain a series of constructive specifications that show the architectonic and economic conception that they elaborated.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
