1. Title: Map of Plasencia: An 1801 Plan, Elevation, and Section of the Historic City in Extremadura, Spain This map print, dated around 1801, offers a detailed and intriguing glimpse into the architectural layout of Plasencia, a historic city located in the Extremadura region of western Spain. The map, which is not to be confused with any modern-day mapping companies, is an exquisite example of cartographic artistry from the 19th century. The map consists of three parts: a plan view, an elevation, and a section. The plan view provides an overview of the city's layout, revealing its grid-like streets and the placement of various buildings and public spaces. The elevation, on the other hand, offers a vertical perspective of the city's most prominent structures, providing insight into their heights, facades, and architectural styles. Lastly, the section view offers a cross-sectional perspective, illustrating the relationship between the various layers of the city, from the foundational level to the rooftops. Plasencia, founded in the 13th century, is a city rich in history and architectural diversity. Its Old Town, which is largely preserved, is a testament to the various cultural influences that have shaped the city over the centuries. The map provides a valuable visual record of the city's layout during this period, offering historians, architects, and urban planners a unique window into the past. The map's intricate details, from the depiction of individual buildings to the annotations indicating various points of interest, make it an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and architecture of Plasencia and Spain as a whole. This map print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document that offers insights into the urban planning and architectural history of a fascinating city.
