Altares y tianguis: una apología del espacio abierto en Sudamérica

Abstract

If there is a place in Spanish American cities where you can find a perfect symbiosis between the heritage of Native American religion and the Catholic religion is in the main squares of many of these cities, that despite the changes, they allow convergence of ancestral activities as trade with religious festivals that take place in the same space. What this paper aims to examine it is how these spaces were formed on supports various activities that allow them traslucir through a rich heritage that is not only Spanish, but also Muslim and indigenous.
