EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Catalonia. Barcelona" from the atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," was created by the renowned cartographers Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg in 1576. The map provides a fascinating glimpse into the Mediterranean landscape of Catalonia, with a particular focus on the vibrant city of Barcelona during the late 16th century. The map is adorned with intricate details, showcasing the topography, cities, and towns of the region. The rolling hills and verdant fields are depicted in rich greens and browns, with the sparkling Mediterranean Sea in the foreground. The map reveals the extensive agricultural activities of the time, with farmers working the land and tending to their crops, which include grains, olives, and vineyards. The map also highlights the urban landscape of Barcelona, with its winding streets, fortifications, and prominent buildings. The Pla de Palau, the Gothic Quarter, and the harbor are all clearly visible, providing a snapshot of the city's layout and importance as a major port during the Modern Age. The map, which is part of the extensive collection at the Salamanca University Library, is a testament to the meticulous cartographic skills of Braun and Hogenberg during the Age of Discovery. The rich colors, intricate details, and historical significance make this map a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Catalonia and Barcelona during the 16th century.
