New Barcelona

New Barcelona (alt. Barcellona; Nueva Barcelona del Cerro Santo) was founded in 1638 by Joan Orpí i del Pou (b. 1593, d. 1645). The city became the capital of the Province of Nueva Cataluña, which had been founded by del Pou in 1633. The Province was merged in 1654 into the New Andalusia Province, and the city of New Barcelona was refounded in 1671. New Barcelona was located in what is now called Venezuela.[1]
