Fort Anne National Historic Site, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. The officers' quarters seen from afar. This is a pretty good illustration of a star fort, or trace à l'italienne, a feature of military architecture that was first innovated in Renaissance Italy, and was so ingenious that the design's usefulness continued until well after 1800 despite vast advances in military technology in the ensuing centuries. Laid out in the form of a star, hence its name, soldiers were stationed on each side of triangular ramparts that served as the star's points, and could thus attack invading enemies from every conceivable direction. Wide ditches were placed in between the several concentric defensive walls so that invaders would be exposed to enemy fire for comparatively long periods of time as they charged through. Lieu historique national du Fort-Anne, Annapolis Royal, Nouvelle-Écosse. La caserne des oficiers vue à distance. Ceci est une assez bonne illustration d'une trace à l'italienne, une caractéristique de l'architecture militaire qui a été innové premièrement en l'Italie pendant la Renaissance, et était tellement ingénieuse que l'utilité de la conception a continué jusqu'à bien après 1800, malgré de vastes progrès dans la technologie militaire au cours des siècles qui ont suivi. Disposée sous la forme d'une étoile, des soldats étaient stationnés à chaque côté des remparts triangulaires qui servaient comme des points de l'étoile, donc pourraient attaquer les ennemis envahisseurs à partir de toutes les directions possibles et imaginables. De larges fossés étaient situées entre les plusieurs remparts concentriques afin que les envahisseurs seraient exposés au feu de l'ennemi pendant relativement longtemps alors qu'ils traversaient. Sitio Histórico Nacional de Fort Anne, Annapolis Royal, Nueva Escocia. El cuartel de los oficiales visto desde lejos. Este es una bastante buena ilustración de una traza italiana, una característica de la arquitectura militar que se innovó por primera vez en la Italia del Renacimiento, y era tan ingeniosa que la utilidad del diseño continuó hasta mucho después de 1800 a pesar de grandes avances en la tecnología militar al transcurso de los siglos siguientes. Dispuesta en forma de una estrella, los soldados se apostaban a cada lado de las murallas triangulares que servían como las puntas de la estrella, y por lo tanto podrían atacar a los enemigos invasores desde todas las direcciones imaginables. Unas zanjas anchas se colocaban entre las varias murallas concéntricas para que los invasores se expondrían al fuego enemigo durante comparativamente largos períodos de tiempo mientras que atravesaban. |
