FORTMED is the International Conference dedicated to the study, analysis and dissemination of Mediterranean fortifications and those built in overseas territories (Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Panama, Peru, etc.), reflecting the spread of construction models, defensive strategies and technical knowledge.
The main objective of FORTMED is to foster the exchange of current research and promote the sharing of results, contributing to a better understanding, enhancement, conservation, management and sustainable use of fortified cultural heritage. In this context, the dissemination of results represents a key tool.
