Política y defensa en el suroriente cubano: el castillo de San Pedro de la Roca, 1635-1800

San Pedro de la Roca Castle, a key UNESCO World Heritage Site in Santiago de Cuba, played a pivotal role in the defensive strategy of the Spanish Empire in the Caribbean from 1635 to 1800. The study reveals how the castle's fortification system evolved in response to imperial political shifts and military engineering advancements, reflecting broader trends in colonial defense architecture. By analyzing archival records—including reports, inventories, and projects—researchers traced the transformation of the castle from its early 17th-century origins through the 18th century, highlighting its strategic significance in the region's geopolitical landscape.
