Abstract

The research focuses on the construction of the temple of San Pedro Apóstol in the south of Lago de Maracaibo, as a cultural fact, which responds to the affirmation of its role as a collective integrating entity at the end of the eighteenth century, as it was achieved to generate a “complex cultural encounter” between that agrarian community, in which Hispano-Creoles, hacendados, free workers, enslaved and also merchants participated, most of them Afro-descendants. The analysis identifies and reveals the project’s underlying threads, the formal origins of the temple and the identification of its artificers.

Keywords:
