El plan estratégico defensivo de Jorge Próspero Verboom en la frontera Hispano-Francesa Occidental (1725-1726)

Abstract

El proceso de modernización de las fortificaciones militares de España, iniciado por Jorge Próspero Verboom en 1715, tuvo un capítulo relevante en la frontera hispano-francesa occidental. El ingeniero general llegó a Pamplona en 1725, y redactó un ambicioso proyecto general, basado principalmente en la disposición de tres fuertes exteriores en lugares estratégicos. Además potenció en Frente de Francia y el sistema defensivo de la ciudadela pentagonal de Felipe II. Este proyecto se ejecutó en su mayor parte a lo largo del siglo XVIII, y elevó a Pamplona al máximo grado de calidad en materia de fortificación en España. Además concibió un plan estratégico de apoyo entre las tres plazas más relevantes de la región: Pamplona, San Sebastián –cuyo proyecto general fue redactado por su hijo Isidro– y Fuenterrabía, para la que corrigió el proyecto de Luis de Langot. Esta investigación analiza el proyecto para Pamplona de forma comparativa frente a la labor proyectual previa del ingeniero para plazas de Flandes como Lier, en que los sistemas de inundaciones y esclusas fueron las herramientas clave, y otros para Alicante, Ceuta o Cádiz. Verboom demostró una gran capacidad de adaptación al terreno y maestría en adoptar las técnicas de fortificación más adecuadas a la importancia estratégica de la plaza, los recursos económicos y los accidentes naturales.

The process of modernization of the military fortifications of Spain, initiated by Jorge Próspero Verboom in 1715, had an important chapter in the western Spanish-French border. The general engineer arrived in Pamplona in 1725 and drafted an ambitious general project, based mainly on the provision of three outer forts in strategic locations. He also strengthened the Front de France and the defensive system of the pentagonal citadel of Philip II. This project was carried out mostly throughout the eighteenth century, and elevated Pamplona to the highest quality in terms of fortification in Spain. He also drew up a strategic support plan between the three most important squares in the region: Pamplona, San Sebastián – the general project of which was written by his son Isidro – and Fuenterrabía, for which he corrected Luis de Langot’s project. This research analyses the project for Pamplona comparing such project to the previous projects by the engineer for squares in Flanders, such as Lier, where the flood and lock systems were key tools, and others for Alicante, Ceuta or Cádiz. Verboom demonstrated a great ability to adapt to the terrain and mastery in adopting the most appropriate fortification techniques to the strategic importance of the square, economic resources and natural accidents.
