Database: fortifications

Introduction

Included data

Spatial scope

This database was created to catalog coastal fortifications, enriching the collection of the Museu Marítimo EXEA. The objective is to centralize essential information about these important defensive structures and their maritime history.

Each record contains the following data: official name, geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), location (city/country), construction date, type (fort, fortress, other), main characteristics, and current conservation status.

At the moment, we cover the Atlantic coast of Africa, South America, Central America, and the Iberian Peninsula. However, the ultimate goal is to include all major coastal fortifications bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, creating a comprehensive overview of naval defense in this ocean.
