Description
The book is a history and inventory of the coastal fortifications (towers, forts, batteries, etc.) built between the 15th and 19th century to protect the coast of Palermo (Italy) against enemy attack. It describes the history and development of the coastal towers and other fortifications, their morfology and typology. But most part of the book is a listing - an inventory is a better word - of all known fortifications in the area. The book is written in Italian entirely and is illustrated with more than 300 photos, drawings, plans and maps. The book is in VERY GOOD shape. |
