Fort de Valença - Bastion de São Jerónimo

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

La forteresse de Valença date du tournant du XIIe et du XIIIe siècle. Elle était destinée à défendre la ville et le passage de cette partie du fleuve.

Dans le cadre de la guerre de restauration de l'indépendance portugaise, ce fort voisin a été entièrement rénové à partir du XVIIe siècle selon un projet du Français Miguel de l'Ècole.

De cette manière, les murs ont été reconstruits et de nouvelles structures de bastion ont été érigées, notamment :

- la dite Coroada , avec trois bastions (Santa Ana, São Jerônimo et Santa Bárbara) et deux demi-bastions (São José et Santo Antônio) ;
de nouveaux fossés furent ouverts, sur lesquels furent construits des digues de secours ;

- des ravelins pour défendre certains rideaux

- sept nouveaux bastions , à savoir : Carmo, Esperança, Faro, Lapa, São Francisco, São João et Socorro.
