Historical map of the city of Rome from the late sixteenth century, created by Joris Hoefnagel. It is a colored engraving.
The map highlights sixteenth-century Rome, urbanized and organized into districts, and crossed by the great Tiber River. The map also shows the city's outer walls with regularly spaced bastions. The seven hills are also depicted, and in the background are the Alban Hills. At the bottom of the map are two legends, highlighted in blue on the left side and in red on the right side.
Georg Hoefnagel Hufnagel (Antwerp, 1542 – Vienna, 1600) was a Flemish painter, cartographer, and illustrator.
