New Granada

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

New Granada

Viceroyalty, or province, of Spain's empire in the New World from 1717. It took up the northwestern region of South America, and was created to defend Cartagena and the Pacific coast. The capital was Sante Fé de Bogotá. New Granada was liberated by Simón Bolívar who captured the capital August 1819.

The viceroyalty was suppressed 1723, but reinstated 1739 because of its strategic position in the war with Great Britain. Towards the end of the 18th century it was a cultural centre of the Spanish empire.
