Serving as the gateway to Spain’s lucrative Atlantic Empire for over two centuries, the city fashioned itself as an imperial capital, and natural successor to ancient Rome. Despite never serving as the official capital to the Spanish Habsburgs, civic authorities in Seville nonetheless expressed their city’s wealth and nobility through an excess of laudatory histories, artwork, architectural renovations, and regional patron saints. This dissertation first contextualizes Seville’s prominence by exploring how Phillip II’s refusal to establish a permanent capital in Madrid until 1561 promoted competition between many cities in Castile, all of which saw themselves as potential contenders for the future imperial court. As Spain moved into Atlantic territories, this competition helped fashion the urban organizational strategy for colonial settlement in the New World. As Seville was the most important city in Spain during the early modern period, the city greatly influenced the conceptualization and development of Spanish-American cities between the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries. Colonial capitals such as Mexico City found in Seville a language for expressing their inclusion in the Habsburgs’ global empire through lavish ceremonies and architecture which could establish their New World cities as distinctly Spanish and Catholic. By placing Seville at the center of the empire, my research will act as an amendment to contemporary Spanish historiography which has failed to fully recognize the influence of Andalusia in early colonial development. iii Acknowledgements To Kimberly Lynn and Amanda Eurich at Western Washington University, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude. It was through their guidance and persistence that I found my way to the University of Kansas. I would also like to acknowledge the immeasurable contribution of my dissertation committee from the Department of History at the University of Kansas. I am exceptionally grateful for the guidance and unconditional patience of Luis Corteguera, who has defined what it means to be mentor. In addition, the intellectual contribution of Marta Vicente, Elizabeth Kuznesof, Robert Schwaller, and Patricia Manning cannot be overstated. Without their unique insight and enthusiasm about my interests, as well as their own, this project would not have been possible. I would also like to thank my graduate cohort at the University of Kansas. Their continued friendship and dedication to academic excellence has made my experience at KU truly exceptional. There were many academic bodies that contributed to this research project. I most gratefully acknowledge: the Council on Library and Information Resources, The Truman Foundation, the Council for European Studies, as well as the Department of History and the Department of Latin American Studies at the University of Kansas. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the immeasurable personal support of my family, particularly Sara Christine Styles, Frank Stillo, Joshua Benjamin Stillo, Rebecca Stillo, and my fiancé, Shelby Lane Callaway. iv Table of Contents Abstract……………………………………………….iii Acknowledgements……………………………….......iv Introduction…………………………………………....1 Chapter 1: …………………………………………….20 Chapter 2……………………………………………...50 Chapter 3……………………………………………...81 Chapter 4……………………………………………..118 Conclusion…………………………………………...157 Bibliography…………………………………………167 v INTRODUCTION “Communities are to be distinguished, not by their falsity/genuineness, but by the style in which they are imagined.”1 Benedict Anderson Imagined Communities “He who hath not seen Seville hath not seen wonder.”2 Richard Blome Geographical Description of the Four Parts of the World (1670) Spain and its Atlantic territories during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were a mosaic of old and new. In Castile, many regions were the product of Islamic domination in the medieval period, and possessed physical architecture, histories, and populaces which reflected their pre- Christian heritage. Efforts by local municipal authorities often embraced this non-Christian linage, emphasizing their victory in the reconquest of Spain and imagining their region’s history as sites of pitched battles against Islamic intruders. Promoting this narrative, cities like Seville and Toledo proudly recast their urban landscape as proof of their triumph over infidels and continued commitment to the Catholic faith. Civic monuments such as Seville’s Giralda and Toledo’s Santiago 1 Benedict Anderson, Imagined communities: reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism, Rev. and extended ed.

Colonial officials, merchants, settlers and mendicant orders were constantly preoccupied by their efforts to integrate indigenous and African peoples into their social, political, and historical frameworks. As Spanish colonialism spread deeper into American territories, the question of how to unite disparate populations across vast distances became a vexing question to officials on both sides of the Atlantic. In an attempt to locate commonality, or a sense of community, in Spain’s complex, pre-national empire, this dissertation poses a fundamental question: In an empire which spanned two oceans and several continents and ruled over populations which lacked historic and linguistic commonality, where do we find what Benedict Anderson calls “stretchable nets” of cohesion and identity?4 In short, how did the monarchy and the people throughout Spain’s vast empire feel connected to one another? This dissertation will argue that cities became the necessary imaginary for uniting the Habsburgs’ diverse populations both in Castile and their Spanish-American territories. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, urban centers in the Spanish empire united in festivals, artwork, and architecture that could prove their urban, and thus civilized, identity to the monarchy. In early modern Castile, urbanity became synonymous with civility. Spanish cities became the backdrop for 3 While some cities effectively recast their past to reaffirm their relevance to the monarchy, other cities in Castile declined in significance due to their inability to reconcile their history of Islamic dominance to a supposedly unified Christian present. For example, despite the efforts of civic leaders in Granada to distance the city from its Moorish heritage through overt displays of loyalty to the crown and mythologized local histories, the city continued to struggle with its non-Christian past throughout the early modern period. For this see, William Childers, ""Granada": Race and Place in Early Modern Spain," in Spectacle and Topophilia: Reading Early Modern and Postmodern Hispanic Cultures, ed. David R Castillo and Bradley J. Nelson (Nashville: Vanderbilt University Press, 2011). For successful attempts at reform, see Chapters One and Two of this dissertation, which were greatly influenced by the informative work, Amanda Wunder, "Classical, Christian, and Muslim Remains in the Construction of Imperial Seville (1520-1635)," Journal of the History of Ideas 64, no. 2 (2003). 4 Anderson, Imagined communities: reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism: 6. 2 visual and textual competitions to prove their historic ties to Catholicism and contemporary devotion to the crown. As Spain moved into Atlantic territories, cities became the organizational strategy for colonial settlement, making urban (or civic) identity the social and political bridge which united the Habsburgs’ diverse populations across the ocean. Attempting to exceed the grandeur and wealth of their Old World contemporaries, New World city officials funded festivals and artwork which recast the physical landscape of colonial cities as an ideal urban setting realized, arguing that Spanish- America uniquely lacked the architectural constraints of established Old World cities. Key to understanding Spain’s urban imaginary during the early modern period is locating comparable models. This proves no easy task in sixteenth- and seventeen-century Spain. Most urban historians interested in European cities focus on metropolises such as London, Paris, or Rome, all capital cities

  • Byron's Romantic Adventures in Spain
    1 BYRON’S ROMANTIC ADVENTURES IN SPAIN RICHARD A. CARDWELL UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM I On the July 2nd 1809, after several delays with the weather, Byron set off from Falmouth on the Lisbon Packet, The Princess Elizabeth , on his Grand Tour of the Mediterranean world not controlled by France. Four and a half days later he landed in Lisbon. From there, across a war-ravaged Portugal and Spain, he headed on horseback to Seville and Cádiz, accompanied by Hobhouse, details recorded in the latter’s diary. But we know little of Byron’s stay in Seville and Cádiz save what he relates in a letter to his mother, Catherine Byron, from Gibraltar dated August 11th 1809. It is ironic that Byron never saw her in life again. The first part of the letter reads as follows: Seville is a beautiful town, though the streets are narrow they are clean, we lodged in the house of two Spanish unmarried ladies, who possess six houses in Seville, and gave me a curious specimen of Spanish manners. They are women of character, and the eldest a fine woman, the youngest pretty but not so good a figure as Donna Josepha, the freedom of woman which is general here astonished me not a little, and in the course of further observation I find that reserve is not the characteristic of the Spanish belles, who are on general very handsome, with large black eyes, and very fine forms. – The eldest honoured your unworthy son with very particular attention, embracing him with great tenderness at parting (I was there but three days) after cutting off a lock of his hair, & presenting him with one of her own about three feet in length, which I send, and beg you will retain till my return.

Some of the most impressive and old Universities have been built in Spain. Education has always been an important issue for society and so it was in Spain. Let’s learn a bit more about which are the historic Universities of Spain near our Paradores. University of Salamanca This is the oldest University in Spain that is still actively working and it is also the 5th oldest University in Europe! Its construction is dated back in the year 1218, and it was one of the medieval Universities with a higher work rate. Its academic model was even introduced in almost every other University in Spain in the XIX century. The city of Salamanca has been from that time on considered one of the symbolic university cities of Spain. This University is also famous for one of the beautiful façades in which there is a hidden frog on top of a skull. Everyone stares there trying to find it! Walk around this great city of Salamanca and stay at our Parador de Salamanca, to discover the magnificence of its University.

    ROCZNIKI HUMANISTYCZNE Volume 66, issue 4 – 2018 SELECTED PAPERS IN ENGLISH DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rh.2018.66.4-6e FR. ANDRZEJ WITKO * STILL LIFE IN 17TH-CENTURY SEVILLE PAINTING Still life representations showing various man-made objects such as dishes, weapons, books, candles, kitchen utensils, musical instruments, cards, but also food items such as fruit, vegetables, bread, sweets, eggs, fish and animals, as well as flowers and human skulls, are referred to in Spanish as the bodegón.1 Originally, the term had a much broader meaning and in- cluded so-called kitchen scenes, which were of particular interest to young Diego Velázquez, today considered a part of genre painting. Man-made ob- jects were rarely the main theme of Spanish bodegones. If they appeared, they usually accompanied other natural products. Although this genre of painting never developed especially in Seville, it did enjoy a certain popular- ity there. This was due to both typical aesthetic feelings and the experience of Black Death. The resulting hunger, lack of food and meagre harvests pro- voked the creation of unusually “appetizing” still lifes, which were supposed to compensate for the acute food shortages. The plague and the spreading death toll moreover inspired the creation of superb still lifes that emphasized the futility of human life. There were also still lifes referring to specific litur- gical periods, e.g. Christmas or Lent, particular seasons and months, taking Fr. Prof. Dr Hab.
