The Architect as Policymaker: The Case of Comayagua's Heritage Preservation in Honduras

Resumen:

Comayagua is a city in central Honduras nestled in a valley with the same name. It holds a pivotal place in the nation’s history, having served as its colonial and early republican capital for over 300 years. However, when the capital was relocated to Tegucigalpa in 1880, Comayagua’s urban expansion halted, inadvertently preserving an ample and rich heritage. By the early 1990s, much of the city’s architectural legacy was in a state of disrepair. Recognizing the urgent need to protect it, the governments of Honduras and Spain initiated a collaborative effort, with the objective of initiating a long-term restoration program to create a policy framework that would ensure the preservation of the city’s historic center for years to come.
