"Plattegrond van Rosas, 1726" is an anonymous 18th-century map depicting the fortified city of Rosas in Spain. The detailed drawing, likely created for military or navigational purposes, shows the city's star-shaped fortress, its surrounding landscape, and the nearby Mediterranean Sea. The map includes text in French and a scale for reference. This intricate engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the strategic importance of Rosas during this period.
