"The site where Nata is located was discovered in 1515 by Captain Alonso Perez de la Rúa. The place was already inhabited by natives whose cacique was "Nata." The town was first populated as a village by Spaniards in 1517 on command of Lic. Gaspar de Espinoza. It was however destroyed and burnt to the ground by the indians. Gaspar de Espinoza did not give up and rebuilt Nata, this time as a city and populated by Spaniard noble families and knights," And the church was built in 1522 - The history within those walls - wow - fascinating! Fantastic capture!
