During the colonial days of Colombia, which began with Spanish conquest in the early 16th century, the region was characterized by the establishment of Spanish settlements, the exploitation of Natural Resources, and the forced labor of Indigenous people. Cities like Bogotá, founded in 1538, served as administrative centers. The economy relied heavily on agriculture, mining (especially gold), and the cultivation of crops like sugar and tobacco. The period also saw the spread of Catholicism and the establishment of a colonial social hierarchy influenced by race and class.
