Everything about Bruno Mauricio De Zabala totally explained
Bruno Mauricio de Zabala (
1682-
1736) was a
Spanish soldier and colonial administrator. He was born in the slum of Zabala (then located outside the walls of
Durango, but now a part of the town) in the province of
Biscay. The house of his birth has been preserved to this day, and one of its walls bears two plaques commemorating his exploits in the new world.
In
1717, Zabala was named
capitán general of the
Río de la Plata, where he suppressed piracy and confronted the
Portuguese, who sought to claim the River Plate for themselves. In
1726, to contend with these rivals, Zabala constructed a fortress. This settlement, which would evolve into the city of
Montevideo, became the center of Spanish control over the
Banda Oriental, and later the capital of
Uruguay.
