Cabildo Of Buenos Aires
The Cabildo of Buenos Aires ( es, Cabildo de Buenos Aires) is the public building in Buenos Aires that was used as seat of the town council during the colonial era and the government house of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata.

Its construction financed with taxes from the port of Buenos Aires, the building was finished in 1610 but was soon found to be too small and had to be expanded. In 1682, due to lack of maintenance, the building was almost in ruins, and the construction was planned of a new cabildo that was two stories high and 11 arches wide. Construction of the new building did not start until 23 July 1725, was suspended in 1728, and restarted in 1731. Soon construction was, however, again suspended due to lack of funds.

Cabildo (council)
A cabildo () or ayuntamiento () was a Spanish colonial, and early post-colonial, administrative council which governed a municipality. Cabildos were sometimes appointed, sometimes elected; but they were considered to be representative of all land-owning heads of household (''vecinos''). The colonial cabildo was essentially the same as the one developed in medieval Castile. The cabildo was the legal representative of the municipality—and its ''vecinos''—before the Crown, therefore it was among the first institutions established by the conquistadors themselves after, or even before, taking over an area. For example, Hernán Cortés established La Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz to free himself from the authority of the Governor of Cuba. The word ''cabildo'' has the same Latin root (''capitulum'') as the English word chapter, and in fact, is also the Spanish word for a cathedral chapter. Historically the term ''ayuntamiento'' was often preceded by the word ''excelentísimo'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cabildo Abierto

Usually, the colonial cities were governed by a '' cabildo'' or an ''ayuntamiento'', a municipal council in which most of the officers were appointed by the authorities. In cases of emergency, the cabildo could convene the heads of household (''vecinos'') in an "open" cabildo. At the beginning of the Spanish American wars of independence open cabildos played a decisive role were the path by revolutionary movements, acting as organs of popular participation, were able to remove the colonial authorities and establish new revolutionary governments.

Cabildo Insular
A ''cabildo insular'' ( en, island council) is the government and administration institution of each of the seven major islands in the Canary Islands archipelago: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The island of La Graciosa falls under the jurisdiction of the ''cabildo'' of Lanzarote. The members of a ''cabildo'' are elected by direct universal suffrage by the Spanish citizens of each island. The membership is determined by party-list proportional representation. In Francoist Spain the members were appointed rather than elected. Created under the Law of Cabildos of 1912, the ''cabildos insulares'' took over powers ascribed to the provincial councils. ''Cabildos'' exercise a level of authority between those of their province and their autonomous communities in matters of health, environment, culture, sports, industry, roads, drinking water and irrigation, hunting and fishing licensing, museums, beaches, public transportation and ...

Cabildo Of San Juan Tenochtitlan
The cabildo of San Juan Tenochtitlan was a governing council established in the 16th century to give a Spanish-style government to Tenochtitlan. The cabildo consisted of a single governor, a number of alcaldes and regidores, and a number of other minor officials. Governor Initially the governorship was given to the '' tlatoani'' (indigenous dynastic ruler) and many early governors were thus referred to by the Spaniards as ''cacique y gobernador'' ("Indian ruler and governor") or ''señor y gobernador'' ("lord and governor"). The last ''tlatoani'' of Tenochtitlan was Luis de Santa María Nanacacipactzin (1563–1565). Governors who also were ''tlatoani'' or ''cuauhtlatoani'' (interim ruler) are indicated in the list. Subsequent (non-dynastic) governors were referred to ''juez-gobernador'' ("judge-governor") or simply ''gobernador'' ("governor"). In 1564, the governor received a salary of 400 pesos per year.Gibson (1964): p. 186. # Cuauhtémoc (1521–1525; also ''tlatoani'') # ...

Cabildo (Cuba)
Cabildos de nación were African ethnic associations created in Cuba in the late 16th century based on the Spanish cofradías (guilds or fraternities) that were organized in Seville for the first time around the 14th century. The Sevillian cofradías had the tutelage of a Catholic saint and were held in the saint’s chapel. "One of the earliest known ''Cabildos de nación'' in Cuba was Mandinga Zape (1568)" The first cabildo on Compostela street in Havana was built in a lot purchased in 1691 by the Arará family. The same lot is still known as ''el solar de los Arará'' (the Arará’s lot). At the time the African population in Cuba was not as significant as it was after the 19th century with the sugar boom. Cabildos were organized by slaves belonging to the same ethnic group and became very popular in the urban areas. Benefits brought by the ''cabildos'' Spanish legislation supported the cabildos as means of entertainment for the slave population, and as social control allevi ...
