Abstract

The economic reactivation of Cartagena harbour from sixteenth century constitutes an importatn gap in the spanish historiography. This development, motivated mainly because of the repulse of its comercial function, it will be a good phocus of atraction for the foreigner merchant, which, in a narrow relation with the mercantile autochtonous bourgeoise, will dominate the hasrbour activity, comercial and finance of the city, forming a powerfull urban oligarchy.
