Senji immortalized by Desing's ballad still popular in South India is a significant place in the Tamil country. Successively occupied by the Hindus of Vijayanagar the Nayakas the Muslims of Bijapur the Marathas the Mughals and finally by the French in 1750 it was at the end of the 16 century one of the biggest cities of the peninsula. The fort is particularly interesting for students of military architecture because it is the only one in India where a full sequence of the defence systems used in the subcontinent from the Vijayanagar period to the European conquest can be observed. It is also the only one where we can follow for at lest four centuries the adaptation of defence systems to the progress of artillery. This study is an attempt to make an analysis of both the written documents and of the archaeological investigation it is an essay at the junction of several disciplines (archaeology history and human geography) trying to show the evolution of the defence systems of the stronghold the development of the urban centre as well as the different aspects of water and grain storage which are at the root of its surprising growth. The book abundantly illustrated with 44 line drawings and 334 photographs is the result of several years research during which teams of architects were employed to draw the plans of the main buildings and of the different enclosures of the fort. 391 pp.
