Fortifications and Military Heritage along with ICOMOS International Council on

generous support of numerous sponsors both private and public have made this event
possible.
JUSTIFICATION:
These events promote the disclosure of information that demonstrate the works which have
been produced and may serve as a basis for the rescue, conservation and enhancement, at the
same time providing space for reflection and the exchange of information regarding research,
analysis, Management, Sustainability, Tourism, Conservation and Interpretation of
Fortifications and Military Heritage.
BACKGROUND:
In 1997 the Fort of San Juan de Ulua in the city of Veracruz, Mexico held the FORUM
UNESCO Workshop/University and Heritage on Restoration Project Fortress of San Juan de
Ulúa. These meetings focused and are a reflection on the importance of the Military Heritage
of Veracruz. From that time to this day no other event of this type has taken place to show the
activities and progress in research topics of military architecture has taken place in the last
decade much less in the management of these areas.
Researchers from various educational institutions and groups both domestic and foreign have
continued to work on the subject and this is why this conference is showcasing the important
research that sheds light on many of the unknown facts regarding the construction, history
and management of the Fortifications and Military Heritage of Veracruz.

2. Conservation, Materials, Rehabilitation and Re-Use
