This striking plan shows the fortified city of Lima in nice detail. A key below the title identifies 70 locations, including the palace, cathedral, town hall, and the hospital. The city is protected on one side by a river while extensive ramparts and suburbs surround the other sides. Drawn by Veremondo Rossi with no attribution given for the engraver. A beautifully engraved and scarce Italian-produced map.
