With the seizure of power in Šibenik at the beginning of the 15th century, Venice undertook a series of constructions with the aim of securing military primacy over the city. In Dalmatian cities that resisted the establishment of their rule, Venetians built a castle for its military crew by the sea shore, surrounded with a defensive moat towards the city. In Šibenik, on the contrary, they renewed the existing medieval castle on the hill above the city, connecting it with the coastline by an isolated, highly fortified passage. This passage is currently the only example of a ‘rescue road’ on the eastern Adriatic coast. This paper dates its construction and tries to reconstruct its original appearance with the help of a series of graphic sources. In the second half of the century interventions on the Šibenik fortifications were focused on defending the city from an external enemy. At the initiative and insistence of the local population, Venice strengthened and modernized the land stretch of the city walls and present contribution provides a reconstruction of the construction chronology of the city walls and their original appearance.

During the next four decades Stefano Boucaut continues to advance in the degrees of the military and administrative structure of the Venetian government in Dalmatia and Albania, covering different roles and revealing his various skills. In 1685 he became Superintendent of Artillery on the territory of the entire province, at the same time preparing the drawings for the construction of the new fortifications in the delta of the Neretva river, in collaboration with other engineers in the province. Until his death in 1699, Boucaut continued to work as engineer, drawing the plans of the fortifications conquered during the military clashes in the war of Morea - as the fortresses of Sinj, Skradin, Vrpolje - and proposing the necessary works for their improvement. At the same time however, Boucaut also acted as civil engineer as well on several appraisals of civil projects. Presented here for the first time are a series of excerpts from different archival sources, with the aim of contributing to the knowledge of the intermingling roles and competences of the officers involved in the military and administrative apparatus of Dalmatia and Albania.
