Summary: The objective of this research is identify the impact of the Bourbon reforms in the urban space of Guadalajara at the end of the 18th century. Secularization of public space tries to impact on the way the city was understood and lived. The enlightened rulers promoted the organization in cuarteles, breaking with their traditional distribution by barrios, scenario in which the church played a central role. This research is based on the works of Van Young (1989), Carmen Castañeda (2000) and David Brading (1993) to establish a general panorama on the spatial conformation of the city, which was contrasted with the information located in the Archivo de la Real Audiencia de Guadalajara (1750-1798) (Archive of the Royal Audience of Guadalajara) and the Archivo Histórico Municipal de Guadalajara (1794-1797) (Municipal Historical Archive from Guadalajara). From this it was possible to establish a comparative analysis between sources that allowed reaching the proposed objective. In a general way, it is concluded that dividing Guadalajara into cuarteles allowed imposing from secularization a new way of organizing the public space; however, some resistances and practices were evident among the residents of the city who sought the survival of the barrios, informally coexisting both ways of organizing the space.
