Conservation Policies for Twentieth Century Architectural Heritage: COLOMBIA

From the end of the nineteenth century and during the first 30 years of the twentieth century, a group of intellectuals began to work on the history of Colombian cities and architecture, referring to four main historical periods: pre-Hispanic, Colonial, Republican (the first part of the twentieth century) and Modern (the mid-twentieth century). The earliest studies of architectural protection were undertaken during the early twentieth century, a very eclectic period when culture in Colombia was strongly influenced by Europe and North America.
