The print is a detailed, bird's-eye view of the fortified city, showing soldiers and civilians moving within the walls. Hogenberg's work captures the intensity of the siege, with the presence of ships, cannons, and numerous troops around the city walls. This print is a significant example of 16th-century military cartography and provides insights into the strategies and tactics employed during warfare.
