“…Other structures of this type were erected as the capitals of Latifundia in the Kingdom of Poland's Eastern Borderlands. They were mostly funded by wealthy magnate families, namely the Koniecpolskis, who built Brody between 1630 and 1635 (Bevz and Okonchenko 2015); the Zbaraskis, who built Zbaraż between 1627 and 1631 (Miłobędzki 1956, pp. 371-80;Miłobędzki 1980, pp.…”

This paper presents the results of a research that was carried out in a castle in Prószków, a town near Opole, Poland. The investigations were based on the conducted architectural research, including iconographic studies and the analysis of the technology, building materials, and architectural details. The conducted research demonstrated that the Renaissance structure in question was built by Baron Jerzy Prószkowski as a palazzo in fortezza, most likely in the years 1563–1571. The residence is planned around a rectangular courtyard with four bastion towers. The scope of the architectural transformations of the complex during the baroque period and the 19th century was also presented. In the summary, it was highlighted that the castle is one of the first buildings located north of the Alps that refers to the designs of Villa Farnese in Caprarolli, which was designed by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignioli. It is in the style of palazzo in Fortezza, similar to residences in Czechia, Silesia, and Poland. Here, we emphasized the uniqueness of the complex, which stands out from other residences in Silesia and areas of the former Republic of Poland due its original form and innovative solutions.

“…Moreover, Zbarazh shows the scaled copy of the bastion profile used by Scamozzi in his design for this castle. Another five cases were done using the Dutch system of fortifications (Aftanazy, 1995: p. 260;Bevz & Okonchenko, 2015;Tikhonova, 2020), although three of them (Brody, Pidhirtsi, and Zbarazh) have casemates that are a feature of a New Italian system (Bochenek, 1980: p. 17).…”

The heritage of military architecture brings together many fields; it’s been called an “inexhaustible source of research and perspectives” for architects, engineers, archaeologists, historians, and operators in the field of cultural heritage. The subject of knowledge and valorization of fortification works presupposes a multidisciplinary approach aimed at recognizing the different values found in the constructions. Only recently has there been an awareness of the importance of this heritage, which is in constant danger; such attention has helped in defining a series of international strategies “for the protection, conservation, interpretation and preservation of fortifications and military heritage” (ICOMOS Guidelines on fortifications and military heritage, 2021). FORTMED 2023 moves within this rich cultural context in the belief that the dissemination of data is the essential tool for sharing knowledge. The international conference Fortifications of the Mediterranean Coast, FORTMED 2023, opens its sixth edition in Pisa. The conference, organized by the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Energia, dei Sistemi, del Territorio e delle Costruzioni (DESTeC) of the University of Pisa, in collaboration and with the contribution of the Municipality of San Giuliano Terme, will be held on March 23, 24, and 25, 2023, at the Centro Congressi Le Benedettine.
