 The map of the ancient city of Milan, created by Johann Heinrich von Pflaumern and engraved by Wolfgang Kilian, offers a splendid aerial view of the city at the beginning of the 17th century, highlighting its striking geometric layout. Milan’s near-symmetrical plan is immediately recognizable, with the Castello Sforzesco positioned along the axis of symmetry at the top of the map. The city walls, protected by a moat running all around, precisely enclose the city, although today only a small portion of this water feature remains in the Conchetta district, marked as the Darsena. The main buildings, such as the celebrated Duomo clearly marked on the map, stand out sharply, providing an in-depth view of the urban structure of the time.

Below the map, a legend lists 61 points of interest, demonstrating the accuracy and attention to detail of this original copper engraving. This valuable document, taken from the first edition of the Mercurius Italicus, captures the historical and cultural essence of a dynamic and strategic Renaissance city. Pflaumern’s map is thus a fascinating window into Milan’s past, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of urban history and historical cartography.
