Disintegration and Formation of Medieval Compounds with Towers in Trogir

The lecture proposes a model for using a GIS program as a working space. This model allows for structuring information collected from different sources, adding interpretation, and commenting on their interrelationships. These are essential procedures when dealing with fragments and uncertainties. The model contains information on the fortifications of the city of Trogir from 220 BCE until 1500 CE and supports the study of the transformations in the urban fabric that occurred due to political and social changes in which individual needs and aspirations had to be realised. The micro-space history of medieval compounds with towers has emerged as a topic revealing one of the most characteristic features of the city, which has affected its form until today.
