The last stronghold of the Castle of Leiria and its constructive evidences: when Romanesque encloses Gothic
This paper contains part of the results gathered from the first architectonic study of the Castle of Leiria’s military structures, conducted within a master dissertation in Art History, from the University of Coimbra, combining Archaeology of Arquitecture and Art History. Among the several defensive structures of this castle, the so called último reduto (last stronghold), a small fortress within the castle itself, would reveal a complex and diachronic construction, unlike any other in the Castle of Leiria. In spite of its aparent modest architecture, awarding it classifications such as “conservative project” or “unfinished project”, it is demontrated how the último reduto, resulting of a four constructive phases sequence, is in fact an advanced project, a completely Gothic defensive system, although contained within a Romanic castle.
