VAZQUEZ-MIRAZ, Pedro. THE PROTECTION OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF GALICIAN EMIGRATION IN CARTAGENA DE INDIAS (COLOMBIA). REFLECTIONS ON THE CONSERVATION OF CASA GALICIA. Zaranda ideas [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.6-21. ISSN 1853-1296.
Casa Galicia of Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) is an element of the cultural heritage of this city that used to represent the success of its builders, a Galician emigrant family of the beginning of the 20th century. By means of an analysis of documents and photographs, the history of this house was studied as a representative symbol of the protection of Cartagena’s cultural heritage. After the sale of the building to a private company in the decade of 1980, there was a stage of abandonment that led to the disappearance of every element that symbolized its past and, conversely, the trademark of the new owner -the company Corona- has been emphasized in recent times. These changes would evidence the clash of interests between the preservation of a historic building and the commercial purpose of a company, prevailing the latter.
