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.
