Abstract
Sincelejo It is the capital and seat of the administration of the department of Sucre It has an
area in which most of its territory is flat. The extension of the urban area is 7.53% Km2,
and is at 213 meters above sea level.
The city of Sincelejo was founded, replacing an indigenous village, on October 4, 1535
with the name of San Francisco de Asís de Sincelejo.
In 1776, Don Antonio de la Torre y Miranda was the first to notice the strategic position of
the town and made several decisions that would ensure its development, such as choosing
the flattest land in the middle of the savannah, ensuring the availability of water, obliging
the Indians watered in nearby huts and ranches would meet in the new urban center, on pain
of burning their rooms and erect the village in corregimiento.
The point of intersection takes place in the center of the city and the system is
complemented in the rural area with some roads that make up the rings that allow the
intercommunication between the settlements that act as corregimental headings and other
minors located along or at the end of the mentioned radios. There is a very strong
relationship between Sincelejo and the corregimientos of the municipality of Corozal such
as El Mamón, Don Alonso and Pileta, as well as with the populated centers of Sampués,
San Andrés de Sotavento, Palmito and Toluviejo. The city of Sincelejo is the typical
example of the settlement with indigenous origins and the crossroads.
Reference distance: Sincelejo is located 987 Kms from the Capital of the Republic, 459
Kms from Medellín, 140 Kms from Montería, 220 Kms from Barranquilla, 180 Kms from
