This study leverages Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other digital tools to preserve, document, and analyze the 20th-century military heritage of Sardinia. Focusing on the containment arc of Quartu Sant'Elena (CA), constructed in the 1940s to defend against a potential Allied invasion, it examines two key aspects: the defensive coverage provided by individual bunkers and their collective role in ensuring continuous territorial control. Through GIS-based viewshed analysis, the research evaluates the fields of fire and strategic placement of these defensive structures, offering new insights into their design logic and integration within the landscape
