Alle soglie dell'età moderna ingegneri e architetti militari furono impegnati nella predisposizione di nuovi sistemi di fortificazioni idonei a difendere i centri litoranei e le coste del mare Mediterraneo, divenuto teatro di scontro tra mondo cristiano e islamico. Anche il Regno di Sardegna pur con un certo ritardo fu dotato di possenti apparati difensivi, le cui fasi di progettazione e realizzazione sono ancora oggi parzialmente ricostruibili grazie ad appunti di lavoro, relazioni, disegni progettuali, mappe e altri significativi documenti conservati nei principali archivi europei.

Abstract
Right before the Modern Age, military engineers and architects were engaged in the planning of new fortification systems suitable for defending the coastal villages and the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, which at that time was the scene of the conflict between Christians and Muslims. Although later, a secure system of defence was built up also in the Kingdom of Sardinia and today its design and construction phases can be partially reconstructed through working notes, reports, design drawings, maps and other important documents stored in the major European archives.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
