ANTIQUE CONVENT OF NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL
ROSARIO IN SANTA FE DE BOGOTA
Liliana Rueda Cáceres*
ABSTRACT
Results of an inquiry of primary and secondary source conducted for an investigation on the
participation of the Dominican community, Order of Preachers (O.P.), in the construction
of a nation finally named Colombia, this article focuses on the narrative of the construction
process of the antique convent of Nuestra Señora del Rosario located in the city of Santafé
de Bogotá, even in the hypothetical reconstruction of the general spatial configuration of
the whole convent located for more than three hundred years in the block between calles
13th and 12th and carreras seventh and eighth of the current nomenclature of the city.
Slow and bureaucratic, organic and human, too human processes, which are reflected as
a result of this enriching investigation of the primary source , which may be well so far, as
a first approach to future research processes that allow to reconstruct the whole of the
built work of this community in this territory named Colombia.
