Las estructuras defensivas costeras del Estado Pontificio entre historia y valorización
The paper aims to deepen the knowledge of the anthropization processes of the coastal landscape of Lazio, between Civitavecchia, to the north, and Terracina, to the south, focusing attention on the system of defensive towers as architectural evidence, still visible, of a territory in transformation, altered by urbanization, often “spontaneous”, which caused, especially in the last century, the uncontrolled expansion of illegal settlements and the construction of important infrastructures.
