Abstract
La trascendencia de Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz), como sede de la Casa ducal de Medina Sidonia y puerto natural de Sevilla durante la navegación a Indias, propició un excelso patronazgo artístico ducal durante los siglos XV al XVII, con la fundación de numerosos conventos que la monumentalizaron y convirtieron en una Cívitas Dei, capacitada para acoger a parte de la población religiosa en tránsito a Hispanoamérica. Esa vigorosa gestión constructiva, potenciada en la segunda mitad del XVI, logró desbordar la pérdida del señorío en 1645 con la fundación de nuevos conventos hasta mediados del siglo XVIII, y desarrollar una notable arquitectura doméstica al calor de la emergente clase comercial, manifestaciones que sólo podemos calificar de barroca en lo superficial.
The importance of Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz), as the capital of the Ducal House of Medina Sidonia and natural port of Seville during the voyage to the Indies, led to an excellent ducal artistic patronage during the 15th to 17th centuries, with the foundation of numerous convents that monumentalized it and turned it into a Civitas Dei, able to accommodate part of the religious population in transit to Latin America. This vigorous constructive management, strengthened in the second half of the 16th century, managed to overcome the loss of the lordship in 1645 with the foundation of new convents until the middle of the 18th century, and to develop a remarkable domestic architecture in the heat of the emerging commercial class, manifestations that we can only describe as baroque on the surface.
