A real audiencia was a high-ranking judicial and administrative institution established in colonial Spanish America, primarily during the 16th to 18th centuries. It served as a court of law and an advisory body to the viceroy, handling legal disputes, governance issues, and the administration of justice. The audiencia played a crucial role in maintaining Spanish authority and order in the colonies, addressing both civil and criminal matters. Its decisions were often significant in shaping colonial policies and governance.
