Eastern Adriatic Forts in Vincenzo Maria Coronelli’s Isolario Mari, Golfi, Isole, Spiaggie, Porti, Citta...
Old maps can be a valuable source for studying historical and geographical development of forts and towns. Due to their geographical position eastern Adriatic towns and forts were often depicted in the works of Venetian cartographers. One of them was Mari, golfi, isole, spiaggie, porti, citta..., an isolario made by Vincenzo Coronelli, an official cartographer of the Venetian Republic. The basic methodology used in the paper includes the interpretation of socio-geographic elements from Coronelli’s original maps included in the isolario, housed in the State Archives in Zadar. Key eastern Adriatic ports and forts like Zadar, Šibenik, Split or Sinj were depicted several times on maps and panoramas whilst display of other forts sometimes lacked precision because their strategic position was less prominent during Ottoman-Venetian wars.
