Abstract
El sitio que hoy se conoce como “las ruinas de Lules” perteneció a los jesuitas hasta su expulsión en 1767, año en que los padres fueron detenidos y llevados a Buenos Aires. Posterior a este hecho pasaron un poco más de 14 años para que se instalara allí la Orden Dominicana -entonces se denominaba “Colegio de San José del Monte de Lules”. Luego de interminables trámites la Orden pudo tomar posesión del lugar y comenzar con su obra en 1781. En un documento existente en el Archivo Histórico de la Provincia de Tucumán, fechado en noviembre de 1768, se encuentra un escrito que habla sobre los “métodos e instrucciones a los capataces o mayordomos” encargados de la hacienda de Lules. Este documento nos permite visualizar la importancia que tuvo la misma en el desarrollo de la región y además el fluido comercio que mantenía con el Alto Perú.

After this fact, it took a little more than 14 years for the Dominican Order to settle there, back then it was called “Colegio de San José del Monte de Lules”. After endless procedures, the Dominican Order was able to take possession of the place and begin its good work in 1781. There exists a document dated November 1768, that describes the “methods and instructions to the foremen or major-domos” in charge of the Lules hacienda, this document is kept in the Historical Archive of the Province of Tucumán. This document allows us to understand the importance that the Lules Hacienda had in the development of the region and also the fluid trade that it maintained with Alto Peru.
