The Fortifications of Cartagena de Indias

The book is a VERY detailed and thorough study of the history and status of the Spanish fortifications built in and around Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) between the 16th and 18th century.

The author, one of THE experts on the subject, gives a detailed description of the status of the remaining fortifications and recommendations on how these could be restored to preserve them for the future.

Each forts, battery, gun emplacemt, wall, etc. is described in great detail - often with the use of photos, drawings, plans and maps. The thorougness of the publication makes it into one of the best studies of the subject. Although written entirely in Spanish, the amount of detailed illustrations makes it a valuable book for anyone interested in old Soanish fortifications in Central and South America. The book is in GOOD shape. RARE!!
