Historia y arqueología en la Iglesia de Amadores

Abstract

The old Chapel Amadores located in the Paclín department, province of Catamarca has a history other particular since over the decades was interpreted and reinterpreted from different points of view (Be they political, social or religious). Various newspaper reports the stand as a Jesuit building, which was consolidated with the submission and approval of a law patrimonialization for their alleged membership in the congregation of Jesus. Numerous studies we are carrying out for over a decade, we show that the church in question is a much later construction. They were extensive literature searches with numerous archaeological excavations that allowed us to demonstrate what has been said. So this paper wants to advance on the history of the pulsations of a chapel that had a strong bond with the town where he settled, since both followed the same fate.
