Plattegrond van Civitavecchia, ca. 1693-1696 1693 - 1696

"Plattegrond van Civitavecchia" (ca. 1693-1696) is an anonymous, detailed map of the Italian port city Civitavecchia, located in the Rijksmuseum. This drawing depicts the city's fortification system, which was integral to its defense. The intricate detail of the map, with its elaborate walls and inner structures, provides a fascinating glimpse into the city's strategic importance during the 17th century. The use of linework and the focus on the city's layout and defensive systems make this a compelling example of early cartographic art.
