Be part of the study of the ruins of the archeological site León Viejo, first city founded in Nicaragua and abandoned in 1610, been and unaltered heritage. Until now, not in deep studies have been done about the architecture and the historical, cultural, socio-economic and natural context that conditioned it. It is framed in the historiography of architecture and the method of study is analytical, starting by the analysis of the data and historic studies and the analysis of the site. The colonizers in Nicaragua, besides of following the royal orders for the building, replicated technics and prior knowledge, adapting them to the lack of tools and work means, the nature and local work force. The building process was slow because it is a territory with lack of wealth, the high seismicity that destroyed frequently what was build and the lack of architects and sapphires in this phase. In this architecture, it was implanted a stylistic and design patterns, prevailing the “casa patio” with porticoed corridors and the roof structure of “par y nudillo” of nasrid influence, being implanted the “colonial” style that in the future will have been developed into the architectural, religious and housing heritage of Nicaragua, remaining as central task the proper conservation and continuous study of this architectural heritage.

El objetivo de este artículo es identificar las características de la arquitectura colonial en la etapa de implantación de la colonia española en el siglo XVI en Nicaragua, así como determinar el contexto en el que se da, y cuáles son los patrones establecidos para el futuro. Se parte del estudio de las ruinas del sitio arqueológico de León Viejo, primera ciudad fundada en Nicaragua, abandonada en 1610, quedando inalterado este patrimonio. Hasta la fecha no se ha profundizado sobre esta arquitectura y el contexto histórico, cultural, socio-económico y físico natural que la condicionó. La investigación se enmarca en la historiografía de la arquitectura. El método de estudio es analítico, partiendo del examen de los datos y estudios históricos, así como del análisis del sitio. Los colonizadores en Nicaragua, además de seguir las órdenes reales para la construcción, replican las técnicas y saberes que conocen, adaptándolas a la falta de herramientas y medios de trabajo, a la naturaleza y a la mano de obra local. La edificación es lenta, por ser un territorio de poca riqueza, por las condiciones altamente sísmicas que destruyen con frecuencia lo edificado y por la falta de arquitectos y alarifes en esta etapa. En esta arquitectura se implanta una estilística, del mismo modo que aparecen patrones de diseño, prevaleciendo la “casa patio” con corredores porticados, así como la estructura de techo de “par y nudillo” de influencia nazarí, estableciéndose el estilo “colonial”, que en el futuro desarrollará el patrimonio arquitectónico religioso y habitacional de Nicaragua, quedando como tarea central la conservación adecuada y el estudio continuo de este legado arqueológico.
