]]> This programme deals with the foundation of viceroyal cities during the 16th century and the capacity for control and expansion by the monarchical institution in those colonies of the New World. Aspects of the position of the viceroy and his involvement in the different regions of Italy and the Indies are explained in detail. In addition, urban transformations are analysed, such as the structure of streets and water supply in the capitals of the viceroyalties, often linked to the direct action of the Spanish viceroys who had to deal with the local powers. Different examples are cited, such as the Italian viceroyalties, with Naples and Palermo as other cases in Europe, and the American viceroyalties, comparing the cases of Lima and Mexico.
