Afterwards, Lucía Chacón Ledesma will discuss the Guaraní wars and Carmen Gema González Miaja will speak about the residencia trials in New Granada and the case of Viceroy Solís.
After a break, Francisco Montes Tubío will give the talk "De arzobispo a virrey de Santafé. D. Antonio Caballero y Góngora, 1778-1788".

José Rey García will lead the guided tour of the Museo del Gran Capitán.
What the viceroyalty was
As explained at the presentation, the Viceroyalty of New Granada was created in 1717 by separating territories from the Viceroyalty of Peru, within the administrative changes of the Bourbon dynasty. It covered territories that are today part of Colombia, Venezuela, Panama and Ecuador, as well as the Amazonian province of Mainas. After an interruption it was re-established and its history continued until the independence process.
