New Granada was the name given to a group of colonial provinces in northern South America, corresponding mainly to modern Colombia.
To establish civil government in New Granada, an Audiencia (a "court of hearing") was established at Santa Fé de Bogotá in 1548-1549, a body that combined executive and judicial authority, until a presidencia or governor was established in 1564, assuming executive powers.
After Ecuador and Venezuela had established their independence, a "Republic of New Granada" centered around the capital of Bogotá lasted from 1831 to 1856, and "New Granada" was a usage that later survived in conservative circles, such as among ecclesiastics.

 Granada Studios Tour
Live action shows were performed at intervals throughout each day, including a parody of a political debate in the House of Commons chamber set used for '' First Among Equals ''.
This set was often used by other television productions wanting to set scenes in the Commons chamber, such as '' The New Statesman '', and in 2002 was purchased by the scriptwriter Paul Abbott so that it could be used in his BBC drama serial '' State of Play ''.
Abbott, himself a former Granada Television staff writer, bought it personally as the set would otherwise have been destroyed and he feared it would take too long to get the necessary money from the BBC.
