Resumen de Análisis de las fuentes documentales y cartográficas para el estudio de las torres defensivas costeras de la provincia de Castellón (España)
José Manuel Melchor Monserrat, Cristian Pardo Nacher
The study of coastal defensive towers is quite complex, mostly due to the loss of historical data and sometimes the absence of physical rest of the towers themselves. To this must be added the historiographical speculation and the innumerable interpretations that can arise from the reading of ancient texts. During the studies carried out on the coastal defense towers of La Plana (Castellón-Spain) we analyze a series of documents from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century which, in addition to providing important information, also reflect errors and inaccuracies that we will analyze in this article. As a paradigm of these cases, we describe two examples, one by Borriana and the other by Moncofa.
