Abstract

Abstract: The city of Loja in its search process to generate its own identity within the country, it has decided to implement a religious tourist equipment that generates a space dedicated to the veneration of the Virgen del Cisne and besides it serves as a support center for visitors and parishioners who came to the place during the times of the year. The center to be developed will be called Virgen del Cisne the same one that will have a monument of the religious image, which purpose is to turn it into a representative landmark for Loja and the country. Faced with this problem, we propose the redefinition and articulation of their urban systems from discovering those mutilated bidirectional relationships within the city.Beyond sketching a genealogy of the monument, we stop to analyze the intellectual religious ideas that will define the concept, the actors of intervention and the sociospatial implications of sculpture in the process of urban modernization of the city, thenature of the monument to the Virgen as parto f the process aimen at legitimizing a discourse on the Catholic odentity of Loja and its province.
