In 1515, Cumaná was the first European settlement founded in South America by Franciscans and Dominicans. Friars founded it with the name of Nueva Toledo. Due to successful attacks by the indigenous people, it had to be refounded several times. Coro is the oldest city in the west of Venezuela. It was founded on July 26, 1527. It has a wide cultural tradition that comes from being the urban settlement founded by the Spanish conquerors who colonized the interior of the continent. It was the first capital of the Venezuela Province. It was established on June 21, 1531. That diocese was suppressed on 20 June 1637, and its territory used to establish the Diocese of Caracas, elevated to Metropolitan Archdiocese of Caracas by Papal Bull in 1803. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, the ranking clergy had close ties with the governing conservative oligarchy, and the church played a dominant role in the educational system. <ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Catholic Church in Venezuela", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church__in_Venezuela, accessed 9 March 2020. </ref> | In 1515, Cumaná was the first European settlement founded in South America by Franciscans and Dominicans.
