RESUMEN Las investigaciones sobre las fortificaciones en el norte de Nueva España son escasas. Además, aunque hay escritos aislados sobre algunas fortificaciones, no se han realizado estudios que de manera integral hagan un seguimiento de cada recinto fortificado. El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, motivo de este escrito, alberga un inmenso testimonio de los diversos procesos históricos que en su tendido se forjaron. Dicho testimonio se traduce en una gama de bienes patrimoniales que fueron construidos individual y colectivamente a lo largo de tres siglos. Su transformación da cuenta del conocimiento heredado de técnicas o modelos constructivos, y de estrategias de ocupación, lo cual le imprime un sentido de permanencia en el tiempo.PALABRAS CLAVESfortificaciones, Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, presidio de El PasajeABSTRACTInvestigations about the fortifications of northern New Spain are scarce. Besides, even though there are isolated writings on some types of fortification, no studies have been carried out that comprehensively track each fortified enclosure. The Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the reason for this article, has left us an immense testimony of various historical processes forged in it. This testimony translates into a range of patrimonial assets that were built individually and collectively over the course of three centuries. Its transformation gives an account of the inherited knowledge of techniques or constructive models, and of the occupation strategies, which impress on it a sense of permanence in time.KEYWORDSfortifications, Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, El Pasaje prison

José Alvarez de Toledo y Dubois (1779–1858) was either a freedom-fighter turned traitor to the cause of Mexican independence or a spy for the Spanish empire at a time of intense competition among European powers and the early American Republic for dominance over northern New Spain and what would become Texas. In the course of his assimilation or appropriation of liberal discourse and his inciting rebellions, he became a pioneer in the use of the printing press to generate propaganda to recruit troops and financing in advance of military action. His various proclamations and pamphlets exhorted New Spain and other Spanish colonies in America to separate from the motherland and establish republics; a more lasting contribution, however, may have been his being partially responsible for the introduction of the first printing press and publication of the first newspaper in Texas during the early 19th century,
