| Sumari: | Identified the importance of Goa within the politico-military context of the Indian subcontinent, as well as the need to equip the newly created State of India with a fortified city with a significant hinterland, Afonso de Albuquerque decided to conquer it in 1510. Twenty years later, Goa was promoted to the status of capital, consolidating a strategy of territorial occupation based on a defensive system in concentric and gradual growth. Goa would become the main statement of Portuguese Crown in the Indian Ocean in the sixteenth century. It is proposed a look at the old defensive system, which today is the legacy of a constructed territory, and the identity of a community, comprising an integrated ensemble of assets with heritage value. The objective is, therefore, to determine the specific nature of Goa within the context of South Asia, with drawing as a discourse and the key research tool. |
