This anonymous 17th-century map provides a bird's-eye view of Valetta, Malta. The detailed layout depicts the city's intricate grid system, fortifications, and harbor. The map's perspective, with ships and figures on the water, emphasizes Valetta's strategic importance as a naval port. This bird's-eye view map is a beautiful example of cartographic art from this period and is now located in the Rijksmuseum.
