Three Modern Elements of Urban Heritage Diffuse in Tunja, Boyacá

Abstract

This paper shows some of the research results of the project named The Cyber-museum: a way to recognize urban heritage in Tunja. It shows the results of one of the proposed activities about the documentation of three representative elements of diffuse heritage in that medium size Colombian city in order to incorporate that information in the Mutua Cyber-eco-museum. Those elements configure the so called “modernity route”. The developed research was qualitative; it incorporated documental review, field work and expert consultances. The process evidenced a reflexed dynamic about the values and pertinence of identified goods and the subjects that these urban objects are able to express because they have survived in history as representative marks of urban, architectural and testimonial values that could be recognized as they express singularities and develop local identity.
