Historical map of Spain from the late sixteenth century created by Abraham Ortelius.
The map represents the territory of Spain, or rather the Iberian Peninsula, with its rivers, mountain ranges, and main cities. It is also a political map, outlining the Kingdom of Spain in yellow, while Portugal is white. In the lower right corner, there is an inscription within a coat of arms.
Abraham Ortelius (Latinized as: Abrahamus Ortelius or Orthellius, from Flemish Abraham Oertel, Ortels or Hortels) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer. Ortelius, along with Mercator, was a great founder of Flemish cartography and is remembered for publishing the first modern atlas.
