Brief Description:
Between 1696 and 1760, six ensembles of reducciones (settlements of Christianized Indians) inspired by the 'ideal cities' of the 16th-century philosophers were founded by the Jesuits in a style that married Catholic architecture with local traditions. The six that remain ? San Francisco Javier, Concepci?n, Santa Ana, San Miguel, San Rafael and San Jos? ? make up a living heritage on the former territory of the Chiquitos.
