Abstract

Statal borders on political and geographic margins served as dynamic zones for military architectural innovation, challenging the centre-periphery paradigm. This paper reinterprets eastern Adriatic fortifications in the early modern European context, emphasizing their development through local, regional, and transregional influences. By critically engaging with established scholarship, the study examines these defences within their sociopolitical contexts, uncovering the interplay between strategic necessity and cultural exchange. These insights offer new perspectives on fortification knowledge circulation and its implications for early modern statecraft and heritage.
