Summary
A critical gap exists in the documentation of fortifications, particularly in northern Mexico, where heritage sites are increasingly abandoned and at risk of ruin. This study addresses that gap by reconstructing the history of the Presidio de San Miguel de Cerro Gordo, a significant site along the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro—a UNESCO World Heritage route. The research employs historical analysis to preserve and virtually register this forgotten space, offering a model for safeguarding similar at-risk heritage sites. The findings underscore the urgency of documenting such locations before they are lost entirely.
