摘要

Military engineers dispatched to the Sicilian coastline in the first decades of Spanish Habsburg rule encountered a vulnerable landscape punctuated by aging fortifications incapable of withstanding the assault of modern artillery. In his Relazione delle cose di Sicilia of 1546, Viceroy Ferrante Gonzaga wrote that at the outset of his tenure in 1535, he found the island "very weak and open" to the near and present danger posed by Ottoman expansionist ambitions and the increasing corsair presence in and around North Africa. Gonzaga's successor, Don Garcia de Toledo, echoed this sense of urgency in a letter of 1570, in which he described the pressing ("urgente, et urgentissima") need to fortify ports and strengthen local infrastructure. Throughout the sixteenth century, Spanish efforts to remedy the state of Sicilian defensive systems concentrated on the construction of a nearly continuous chain of watch towers and bastioned cities intended to gird the island against rising threats.
