Ordenanzas de Orduña: de la Edad Media a la Ilustración

Abstract

Since medieval times (1373) the town of Orduña equipped itself with an ample set of norms and regulations that covered aspects pertaining both to the urban and rural worlds. The organization and functioning of the local government crystallised in the form of various ordinances, although in concrete aspects the formula of Decrees of Good Governance were used. These were passed by the Town Council itself at the beginning of the year. Already in the late 18th century, as a result of the ideas from the Illustration, in 1789 the most complete set of ordinances of the whole of its history was passed.
