| description | This paper examines the way in which trade routes for circulation of salt in the Province of Tunja contributed to the coniguration of an extensive economic territory, integrating the provinces of Santa Fé, Pamplona and Tunja in the New Kingdom of Granada during the XVI century. The research initiates from a historiographic relection related to the circulation and commerce of salt, its transport media and trade routes used by the natives and spaniards. These routes consolidated an economic space mediated by the production and distribution of salt, which transformed the Province of Tunja into an axis that articulated relations between salt production locations in the province of Santa Fe and its consumers in the provinces of Tunja and Pamplona. This regional articulation enabled the circulation of products from different thermal loors, as well as the integration of an ample colonial territory. The location of Tunja as a crossroads between the Provinces of Santafe, Pamplona and the San Juan Plains, made this city and its surroundings into an attraction for Spanish settlement. Likewise, during the second half of the XVI century, this condition triggered the organization, throughout the province of Tunja, of different places of lodging, sale and resale of products of the earth as well as imports from Spain, for the sustenance and supply of basic needs. These places enabled the circulation and exchange of local products such as salt, hayo, cotton, blankets and others. |

A través de este texto se pretende dar a conocer cómo las rutas de circulación de sal en la Provincia de Tunja contribuyeron a configurar un gran espacio económico, que integró a las provincias de Santa Fe, Pamplona y Tunja en el Nuevo Reino de Granada, durante el siglo XVI. Se partió de una reflexión historiográfica relacionada con la circulación y el comercio de la sal, los medios de transporte y las rutas usadas por los indígenas y los españoles; a partir de las cuales se consolidó un espacio económico mediado por la producción y distribución de la sal, que convirtió a la provincia de Tunja en un eje articulador de relaciones entre los sitios productores de sal en la provincia de Santa Fe y los consumidores de las provincias de Tunja y Pamplona. Esta articulación regional facilitó tanto la circulación de productos de distintos pisos térmicos, como la integración de un amplio territorio colonial. Esto debido a que la localización de Tunja como lugar de paso y conexión entre las Provincias de Santafé, Pamplona y los Llanos de San Juan, hizo de esta ciudad y sus términos un atractivo para el asentamiento hispano, a la vez que generó, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, la posibilidad para que se organizaran en toda la Provincia de Tunja, sitios de aposento, venta y reventa de productos importados de España y productos de la tierra, para el sustento y abastecimiento de las necesidades básicas, y de esta forma sacar provecho de las producciones locales como la sal, el hayo, el algodón, las mantas y otros productos. Ce texte cherche à faire connaître la façon dont les routes de circulation du sel dans la province de Tunja ont contribué à conigurer un grand espace économique intégrant les provinces de Santa Fe, Pamplona et Tunja dans le Nouveau Royaume de Grenade du XVIe siècle. Notre point de départ est une rélexionhistoriographique à propos de la circulation et le commerce du sel, des moyens de transport et des routes qu’empruntaient pour ce faire Indiens et Espagnols. Ces routes ont consolidé un espace économique structurée autour de la production et la distribution du sel, ce qui a fait de la province de Tunja un axe articulateur des localités produisant le minéral dans la province de Santa Fe et des provinces consommatrices de Tunja et Pamplona. Cette articulation régionale a facilité aussi bien la circulation de produits provenant de différentes altitudes que l’intégration d’un large territoire colonial. La cité de Tunja et ses environs, placés stratégiquement entre les provinces de Santa Fe, Pamplona et les llanos de San Juan,ont attiré nombre d’habitants hispaniques et stimulé tout au long de la province, dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle, la création d’auberges, et la vente et revente de produits locaux ou importés pour subvenir aux besoins essentiels, ce qui permettait de tirer proit des productions de la région telles que le sel, le coton, la feuille de coca, les tissus, etc. Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2018-01-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/xml https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_memoria/article/view/7729 10.19053/20275137.n16.2018.7729 Historia Y Memoria; No. 16 (2018): Towards a history of war and militias.
