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

Continuing the focus on the sea and its conflicts, Ana Šverko turns to war management in the Adriatic. Given perennial alarm in the region and waves of real and feared invasions, the local administrations turned to serious fortification of their shores. The Venetian Stato da Mar that extended over this territory for most of the early modern period used Michele and Giangirolamo Sanmicheli as military architects, and it is in locations off “center, ” such as Sebenico (Sibenik), halfway down the Dalmatian coast, that they developed innovative systems for the defenses of these shores. Šverko’s research then seriously challenges the center and periphery concepts: as it turns out, for fortification construction and ideation the “periphery” was actually the center of innovation.
