Structure 17
Archaeological Hypothesis
Historical Context
According to the projections of León de Nagrando's original plan, this sector has been identified as the possible site of the Convent of the Franciscan Order.
Research Status:
Currently, the site is maintained as a archaeological reserve area. The confirmation of this religious complex is vital for the study of the city, as:
I would validate the presence of one of the most influential mendicant orders of the era.
I would complete knowledge about the distribution of spiritual centers in the urban layout.
It would allow identify buried remains through future excavations.
Objective:
New scientific research phases will determine the nature of the structures lying beneath this terrain.
