A striking 16th century two-sheet plan of Jerusalem

Jerusalem at the time of Christ, based on the plan by Christian van Adrichom (1533-1585), but enlarged and oriented to the north. The most important buildings are shown in profile, most with C16th architecture rather than first century. It is one of the few historical plates published in the 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum', the first series of printed town plans, a monumental six-volume work published 1572-1618.
