"Vier kaarten van steden in Catalonië en Zuid-Frankrijk" (Four maps of cities in Catalonia and southern France) is a set of four detailed maps created by Abraham Allard, a Dutch cartographer, between 1701 and 1714. This detailed engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the fortified towns of Roses, Mont-Louis, Prats de Molló and Puigcerdà, which are situated in the Pyrenees mountain range. The maps were likely part of a larger atlas and demonstrate Allard's keen eye for detail and meticulous rendering of the geographical features of these cities.
