Idolobha lamanje laseDurango likhuphuka esigodini esibanzi lapho kwasungulwa khona idolobha lakudala laseSpain elibizwa ngokuthi iNombre de Dios.
Ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-16, abanqobi bokuqala ukuwela indawo yalo kwakunguCristóbal de Oñate, uJosé Angulo noGinés Vázquez del Mercado, lona eladonswa yi-chimera yokuba khona kwentaba enkulu yesiliva, ngenkathi empeleni lokho akuthola kwakuyi idiphozi eyisimanga, ebizwa namuhla. Ngo-1562 uDon Francisco de Ibarra, indodana yomunye wabasunguli abadumile beZacatecas, wahlola isifunda futhi wasungula i-Villa de Guadiana, eduzane nendawo yokuhlala endala yaseNombre de Dios ezokwazi ukubizwa ngokuthi yiNueva Vizcaya ukukhumbula isifundazwe saseSpain lapho umndeni wakhe waqhamuka khona. Ngenxa yobulukhuni bendawo nokuvimbela inani labantu ukuba linciphe kubahlali, u-Ibarra wathola imayini ayinika abomdabu kanye nabaseSpain ababefuna ukuyisebenza, benombandela owodwa wokuthi bahlala edolobheni.
Njengasemlandweni wemizi eminingi yamakholoni, ukusungulwa kweDurango akukhululiwe ekubambeni iqhaza kwabalingiswa abaningi; Abanye babo, ngaphezu kukaDon Francisco de Ibarra, kwakungumabhalane uDon Sebastián de Quiroz, owabhala isitifiketi esihambelanayo, u-Ensign Martín de Renteria, owayephethe isibhengezo sokunqoba, noKaputeni u-Alonso Pacheco, uMartín López de Ibarra, uBartolomé ka-Arreola noMartín de Gamón. UFray Diego de la Cadena uphathe inqwaba yokuqala yesenzo esibalulekile sendawo endaweni namuhla ehambelana nesakhiwo esisekhoneni eliseningizimu-mpumalanga empambanweni yomgwaqo u-5 de Febrero noJurez.
Idolobha, elisungulwe emathafeni angenabantu, lalinqunyelwe yiCerro del Mercado enyakatho, i-Arroyo noma i-Acequia Grande eningizimu, ichibi elincane ngasentshonalanga, nasempumalanga ukunwetshwa kwesigodi. Isakhiwo sokuqala, "intambo nesikwele" esime njengebhodi le-chess, bese sifaka imingcele ebekwe yimigwaqo yamanje yaseNegrete enyakatho, ngoFebhuwari 5 eningizimu, uFrancisco I. Madero empumalanga neConstitución entshonalanga.
Ngekhulu leshumi nesikhombisa, abantu babenezitaladi ezine ezinkulu ezazisuka empumalanga ziye entshonalanga futhi eziningi zisuka enyakatho ziye eningizimu, zinomakhelwane abangama-50 baseSpain. Ukusungulwa kwe-Bishopric ngo-1620 kunika uDurango umehluko wedolobha. Ukwakhiwa kwayo kubonakaliswa namuhla ngokuguqulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi kwezakhiwo zamakoloni, ezavela ngokuya ngezigaba zayo zentuthuko, isici esacebisa kakhulu izakhiwo zekhulu le-18 nele-19.
Ngakho-ke, ngokwesibonelo, sithola iCathedral yalo, esesigcawini esikhulu, kanye nomkhombandlela omkhulu wezakhiwo zenkolo zaseDurango. Ukwakhiwa kwasekuqaleni kwaqala ngaphansi kwegunya likaMbhishobhi García Legazpi cishe ngonyaka we-1695, ngokusho kwephrojekthi yomakhi uMateo Nuñez. Kukholakala ukuthi lo msebenzi wawucishe waqedwa ngo-1711, yize ngonyaka we-1840 kwenzeka uguquko olunzima ngenxa yokulungiswa kabusha okwayalwa nguMbhishobhi Zubiría; yize ukubukeka kwayo okungaphandle kakhulu kwe-baroque kulondoloziwe, noma kunjalo izingxenyeni eziseceleni zikhombisa isitayela esihle se-churrigueresque. Ngaphakathi kokuhlobisa kwangaphakathi okunothile, ifenisha eqoshwe ngokhuni, izitokofela zamakhwaya neminye imidwebo emihle esayinwe nguJuan Correa.
Ezinye izibonelo zokwakhiwa kwezenkolo yindawo engcwele yaseGuadalupe, eyakhiwe nguMbhishobhi Tapiz, enewindi lekwaya elithakazelisayo, indawo engcwele ye-Our Lady of the Angels, eyakhiwe ngamatshe aqoshwe ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19, iSonto Lenkampani, eyakhiwe ngo-1757, isonto laseSanta Ana, kusukela ekupheleni kwekhulu le-18 ngesitayela sebaroque esilinganisiwe, esakhiwe nguCanon Baltasar Colomo noDon Bernardo Joaquín de Mata. Okunye okuphawulekayo yisigodlo seSan Agustín, esisebenza ngekhulu le-17, nesibhedlela saseSan Juan de Dios, esigcina ingxenye yendlu yaso yaseBaroque.
Ngokuphathelene nokwakhiwa komuzi kwedolobha, izakhiwo ezinikezelwe yokuhlala zibonakaliswa ngokuba yifulethi elilodwa, elinamakhava eminyango emikhulu ngokuvamile ebiyelwe ngama-pilasters abunjiwe, kwesinye isikhathi afinyelela ophahleni, lapho kuphakama khona uthango oluhlotshisiwe izindondo. Ezinye zezindonga ezingaphezulu ziqediwe ngama-waices cornices wangempela abonakala ekhanyisa izindonga ezisindayo zezingilazi.
Ngeshwa, ngenxa yenqubekela phambili eziningi zalezi zibonelo zilahlekile ngokungenakulungiseka. Kodwa-ke, kufanelekile ukubalula izigodlo ezimbili ezinhle zamakholoni eziqhubeke phakathi namakhulu eminyaka: eyokuqala itholakala ekhoneni lemigwaqo ka-5 de Febrero noFrancisco I. Madero, isithabathaba somuzi esisesikaDon José Soberón del Campo kanye Larrea, ukubalwa kokuqala kweSigodi Súchil. Lesi sakhiwo sakhiwa ngekhulu le-18 futhi ukubukeka kwaso kuyisibonelo esihle kakhulu sesitayela se-Churrigueresque, esine-façade enhle nephathi enhle yangaphakathi. Isakhiwo sesibili naso esangekhulu le-18 futhi siseCalle 5 de Febrero phakathi kwalabo baseBruno Martínez naseZaragoza. Umnikazi wayo kwakunguDon Juan José de Zambrano, umnikazi womhlaba ocebile, e-alderman, isibonakaliso sasebukhosini kanye neMeya ejwayelekile yedolobha. Lesi sakhiwo sisesitayela seBaroque futhi sine-falconry engavamile, evumelana nemengamo yesitezi sokuqala. IVictoria Theatre edumile iyingxenye yendawo ebiyelwe, namuhla eyenziwe yavuselelwa, okwakuyinkundla yemidlalo yangasese yomndeni wakwaZambrano. Njengamanje lesi sakhiwo sineNdlu KaHulumeni.
Ezindaweni ezizungezile, kungakuhle ukuthi uvakashele idolobha laseNombre de Dios, lapho kutholakala khona ukwakhiwa kokuqala kwamaFranciscan esifundeni, kanye neCuencamé, egcina ithempeli lekhulu le-16 elalinikezelwe kuSanta Anthony wasePadua, elinombala olula wesitayela se-Renaissance kanye ukuthi ngaphakathi kuhlala isithombe esidumile nesihlonishwayo seNkosi yaseMapimí.
