Considering the nature of this national monument, the study focuses on the analysis and characterization of its construction aspects: design, geometry, materiality and construction techniques; aspects that are part of the poliorcetics (or military art) perspective. From a methodological point of view, using technical historical resources, reconstruction of the fort under study culminated through a comprehensive literature review and associated fieldwork. The art of poliorcetics and construction techniques, as used by major writers of the 17th century about fortifications and their principles, were applied to the original construction of the fort, considering the difficulties and solutions of its time. The characteristics of the original fort and the analysis of successive reparations revealed the existence of three different designs throughout its history.Keywords: fort, La Planchada, Chile, 17th century, characterization. Este artigo estuda o Forte “La Planchada”, localizado no sul do Chile. Considerando a natureza deste monumento nacional, o estudo se concentra na análise e caracterização de seus aspectos de construção: desenho, geometria, materialidade e técnicas de construção; aspectos que fazem parte da perspectiva do poliorcetismo (ou arte militar). Do ponto de vista metodológico, utilizando recursos técnicos históricos, a reconstrução do forte em estudo culminou através de uma revisão da literatura e trabalho de campo. A arte das técnicas de poliorcética e construção, usadas pelos principais escritores do século XVII sobre fortificações e seus princípios, foram aplicadas à construção original do forte, considerando as dificuldades e as soluções de seu tempo. As características do forte original e uma análise de reparos sucessivos revelaram a existência dos três projetos diferentes ao longo de sua história.
