Habsburg and Bourbon Spain

Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Today: Spain

Years: 1492–1833
Role: City on the Way of St James and cathedral seat

The 16th century saw the development of the city, which came to have 3000 inhabitants, and in 1672 it had 600 households, a parish, a friary, a convent of nuns and a hospital. After a 17th century of crisis, the 18th brought the remodelling of the Plaza Mayor, the promenades of the Espolón and the Carrera and the cathedral's free-standing tower. In the 19th, with the creation of the province of Logroño, it became the head of its district and a judicial seat.
