Sumario:This article compraises a spacial contextualization of the Tunja Province in the mid-nineteenth century. It seeks to present, through its political and geographical setting, a historical construction process of the province. It analyzes a space designed for territorial control through regional mapping, a space perceived from the academic discourses of the universal geography, and, finally, a space lived from socio-cultural experiences. These types of spatiality representation offer a particular understanding of Tunja within the neogranadinian context.
