Fort van Valença - Bastion van São Jerónimo

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Het fort van Valença dateert uit de overgang van de 12e naar de 13e eeuw . Het was bedoeld om de stad en de oversteek van dat deel van de rivier te verdedigen.

In het kader van de hersteloorlog voor de Portugese onafhankelijkheid werd dit naburige fort volledig gerenoveerd vanaf de 17de eeuw naar een ontwerp van de Fransman Miguel de l'Ècole .

Op deze manier werden de muren herbouwd en werden er nieuwe bastionconstructies opgetrokken, waaronder:

- de zogenaamde Coroada , met drie bastions ( Santa Ana , São Jerônimo en Santa Bárbara ) en twee halve bastions ( São José en Santo Antônio );
er werden nieuwe sloten geopend , waarover dijkreliëfs werden gebouwd ;

- ravelijnen om enkele gordijnen te verdedigen

- zeven nieuwe bastions, namelijk: Carmo , Esperança , Faro , Lapa , São Francisco , São João en Socorro .
