Archaeology / Les défenses du port ottoman d\'Alger (1530 - 1830)
French term or phrase: de proximité
A la fin du siècle on procède à la construction des fortifications des abords immédiats.
L’implantation des forts, fortins et batteries dans une défense ciblée de lieux sensibles, est d’autant plus dense qu’elle se rapproche de la ville.
La défense rapprochée est complétée à la fin du XVIe siècle, par la construction de toutes les batteries sur rempart et de forts détachés de proximité
Au milieu du XVIIe siècle avec l’âge d’or de la Course, l’entrée de la rade, le port et les plages limitrophes à la ville, sont fortifiés.


Is this just another way of saying 'des abords immédiats'??
