Abstract

Resumen: El objetivo del presente artículo es destacar la importancia de las rentas municipales en el contexto de la administración colonial española durante los siglos XVI al XVII. A lo largo de la historia del imperio español, las rentas municipales desempeñaron un papel fundamental en la estructura económica y política de las colonias, contribuyendo significativamente a la financiación no solo de la administración local y de las infraestructuras urbanas, sino también al mantenimiento del imperio. El propósito es examinar cómo estas rentas permitieron el desarrollo de las ciudades coloniales, utilizando como objeto principal de análisis el circuito urbano rioplatense, antes y después de constituirse como virreinato. Para ello, nos valemos de una selección de la variada tipología documental que resulta Util para este fin, conservada en diferentes repositorios de carácter nacional, provincial e institucional de distintos países, como Argentina, España y Bolivia.

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of municipal revenues in the context of Spanish colonial administration during the | 6th to 18th centuries. Throughout the history of the Spanish Empire, municipal revenues played a fundamental role in the economic and political structure of the colonies, significantly contributing to the financing not only of local administration and urban infrastructure, but also to the maintenance and preservation of the empire as a whole. The purpose is to thoroughly examine how these revenues facilitated the development and management of colonial cities, as well as their relationship with central authority in the metropolis. The urban circuit of the Río de la Plata region is used as the main object of analysis, both before and after its establishment as a viceroyalty. To achieve this, we draw upon a selection of diverse documentary sources useful for this purpose, preserved in various national, provincial, and institutional repositories in different countries, such as Argentina, Spain, and Bolivia.
