Ottoman Fortifications in Preveza in 1702 the First Phase of the Castle of Iç Kale

Makalenin ana amacı, Osmanlı Đmparatorluğunun en batısında bulunan Preveze kalesinde yapılan çalışmalar sonucu ortaya çıkan yeni bulguları bilimsel camiaya sunmaktır. Venedik arşivlerinde bulunan rapor ve çizimlerin yanında, 18. yüzyıla tarihlenen plan ve resimler 1702 yılına tarihlenen ikinci Osmanlı Preveze kalesi hakkında bilgi vermektedirler. Altıncı Osmanlı-Venedik savaşı sonu ve Karlofça antlaşması, Venediklileri, Bouka kalesini yıktıktan sonra, Preveze\\\'yi Osmanlıya teslim etmeye mecbur etmiştir. Bu durum 1701 yılının yaz mevsiminin sonundan önce tamamlanmıştır. Bölge, 1702 yılında, Osmanlılar tarafından Sto Chiparissi olarak bilinen ve yıkılan kalenin 1 km kuzeyindeki bir alanda tekrar geniş bir kale ile güçlendirilmiştir. Bu kale, daha sonraları Aziz Andrew Kalesi ve Ali Paşa zamanındaki Đç Kale olarak bilinen kalenin ilk safhasını oluşturmuştur.

1702de Prevezede Osmanlı Surları, İç Kalenin İlk Aşaması

The aim of this article is to present information which has resulted from our research on the fortifications of Preveza, once the westernmost part of the Ottoman Empire. Reports and designs held in the Venetian archives, as well as plans and drawings of the 18th century, provide enough evidence for the second Ottoman fortification of Preveza in 1702. The end of the sixth Ottoman-Venetian war and the Treaty of Karlowitz obliged the Venetians to surrender Preveza to the Ottomans after demolishing the castle of Bouka, an obligation which was completed before the end of the summer of 1701. The area was fortified again by the Ottomans, in 1702, with the construction of a large stronghold at the site known as Sto Chiparissi, 1 km north of the demolished castle. This fortification was the first phase of the castle which was later known as St. Andrews castle and during the Ali pasha era as Iç kale.
