English summary: The fortresses built in the Caribbean form a heritage of remarkable cultural values which are still not internationally known. All these buildings, whether they were finished or not and regardless of their state of conservation, are defined by two inseparable characteristics: their defensive function and their value as an element of an image of the governing power. The complexity of these proposals of strategy and propaganda, have led to propose as the main objective of this work to demonstrate that each European power raised a model of management. This was possible from some theoretical paradigms that were defined through the technical transference of the urban development of the cities and the geographical development of the regions, as well as the own defence of the populations under their government. The geographical scope chosen in this work includes both the ports of the Caribbean and those of the Gulf of Mexico, including not only the majority ports administered by the Spanish government but also those of other European powers such as France, England, Holland and Denmark. The chronological frame is developed between 1689 and 1748, which allows approaching the international war impact in the area, from the Nine Years War to the Jenkins’ Ear or the Seat War. The results of the work are intended not only to increase knowledge but also to transfer it in order to respond to the interest raised among international tourism and local populations, or in academic circles, dedicated to this type of heritage. Spanish description: El patrimonio militar construido en el Caribe cuenta con unos notables valores culturales, todavia poco conocidos internacionalmente. Todos estos proyectos, llegaran a construirse o no e independientemente de su estado de conservacion, se definen con dos caracteristicas inseparables: su funcion defensiva y su valor como elemento de una imagen del poder gobernante. La complejidad de estas propuestas de estrategia y propaganda, han llevado a plantear como objetivo principal de este trabajo demostrar que cada potencia europea planteo un modelo de gestion. Esto fue posible a partir de unos paradigmas teoricos que se definieron mediante la trasferencia tecnica el desarrollo urbano de las ciudades y el geografico de las regiones, asi como la propia defensa de las poblaciones bajo su gobierno. El ambito geografico elegido engloba tanto los puertos del Caribe como los del Golfo de Mexico, incluyendo no solo los mayoritarios administrados por el gobierno espanol sino tambien los de otras potencias europeas como Francia, Inglaterra, Holanda y Dinamarca. El marco cronologico se desarrolla entre 1689 y 1748, lo que permite abordar el impacto belico internacional en la zona, desde la Guerra de los Nueve Anos hasta la de la Oreja de Jenkins o del Asiento. Con los resultados del trabajo se pretende no solo un incremento de conocimiento, sino tambien su transferencia para, entre otras posibilidades, dar respuesta al interes suscitado entre el turismo internacional y las poblaciones locales, o en los circulos academicos, dedicados a este tipo de patrimonio.
