| Resumo: | [EN]This article examines the connection between local defense and global projection in eighteenth-century Cádiz, focusing on the management of military knowledge. Through an analysis of the relaciones de defensa produced by Bourbon military engineers and the work of the Royal Board of Fortifications, it shows how information on fortifications, resources, and threats was employed both to secure the city and to shape imperial strategy. In doing so, Cádiz emerged as a military laboratory where technical expertise, political authority, and the Atlantic ambitions of the Spanish Monarchy were brought together. |
