A Brief History of Zipaquira, Rebel Town Breve historia de Zipaquirá, un pueblo rebelde

Abstract

This article presents a brief reviewof the history of Zipaquirá, a municipality located in the outskirts of Bogotá, Colombia. This review comes from a process of systematization of experiences carried out from a research work developed with a social organization that inhabits in this city. Similarly, within this systematization, the construction of a contextual framework on the history of the city from pre-Hispanic times to the present is carried out. Up to date, a contextual framework has not been published, though it is relevant for contributing to the construction of a story that few know, and that so little has been shown.
