Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to analyze the representation of forts and strongholds on the north-eastern Adriatic coast and hinterland (present day Croatia) in Vincenzo Coronelli's isolario MARI, GOLFI, ISOLE, SPIAGGIE, PORTI, CITTA, Fortezze, Ed Altri Luoghi Dell' Istria, Quarner, DALMAZIA ALBANIA EPIRO, E LIVADIA, Delineati, e Descritti Dal P(ADRE) GENERALE CORONELLI. This particular isolario was published in 1688 as the third part of Coronelli's atlas Atlante della Repubblica di Venezia. The basic methodology used includes the interpretation of socio-geographic elements from Coronelli’s original maps included in the isolario, housed in the State Archives in Zadar. Coronelli’s maps were also compared with other cartographic depictions of north-eastern Adriatic forts. During the period of the Venetian administration of eastern Adriatic (15-18th centuries) the Senate of the Republic considered the area to be of great geostrategic importance, especially during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, when several wars were waged against the Ottoman Empire, one of Venice’s major rivals. The Republic's acquisition of new territories after those wars required them to be appropriately cartographically depicted. This was a task for Vincenzo Coronelli, the official cartographer of the Venetian Republic. Coronelli's work was not only based on older available maps, but also on field research and first-hand information obtained from soldiers and seamen who had been stationed throughout the eastern Adriatic. Therefore, Mari, golfi, isole spiaggie, porti, citta... introduced a multitude of geographical, military, historical and other information about Adriatic towns and forts. Key ports, naval strongholds and hinterland forts such as Pula (Pola), Zadar (Zara), Knin (Chnin), Šibenik (Sebenico), Klis (Clissa), Split (Spalato), Hvar (Liesina), Korčula (Curzola) were depicted several times on maps and panoramas. Zadar and Split were given the greatest attention, since Zadar was the centre of Venetian Dalmatia and Split was an important strategic and commercial location on the route towards the Ottoman Empire.
