Casa de Contratación
The Casa de Contratación ((:ˈkasa ðe kontɾataˈθjon), "House of Trade") was a government agency of the Spanish Empire, existing from the 16th to the 18th centuries, which attempted to control all Spanish exploration and colonization. Its official name was ''La Casa y Audiencia de Indias''; it was established in the port city of Seville, Castile (''Corona de Castilla'').
==Introduction==
Unlike the later East India Companies, chartered companies established by the Dutch, English, and others, the ''Casa'' collected all colonial taxes and duties, approved all voyages of exploration and trade, maintained secret information on trade routes and new discoveries, licensed captains, and administered commercial law. In theory, no Spaniard could sail anywhere without the approval of the ''Casa''. However, smuggling often took place in different parts of the vast Spanish Empire.
The ''Casa de Contratación'' was founded by Queen Isabella I of Castile in 1503, eleven years after the discovery of the Americas in 1492. The Casa was the Spanish counterpart of the Portuguese organization, the ''Casa da Índia'', or House of Índia of Lisbon, established in 1434 and destroyed in 1755 by the Lisbon earthquake.
