Peripheral or Central? The Fortification Architecture of the Sanmichelis in Dalmatia

Venice was primarily a trading power, and safe harbors on the eastern coast of the Adriatic had been essential for its trade routes ever since the tenth century. However, the Ottoman-Venetian Wars of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries would prompt Venice to begin intensively investing in the construction and modernization of fortifications. Some of them—those in Zadar, Šibenik, and Corfu, as well as Crete and Cyprus—were worked on by the Sanmichelis, both the uncle and the nephew. In this paper I consider their major projects in Dalmatia: the fortifications in Zadar and Šibenik.
