This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Insulae Açores’, which translates to ‘Azores Islands’. The map depicts the nine volcanic islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean, which are part of Portugal. In the early 17th century, Portugal was a global maritime power with colonies and trading posts in Africa, Asia, and South America. The country was ruled by the House of Habsburg, which brought stability and prosperity to the nation. Portugal was known for its naval prowess, seafaring traditions, and exploration of new territories. The Azores Islands played a crucial role in Portuguese maritime history as they served as a stopover for ships travelling to and from the New World. Horta and Angra do Heroísmo were two of the main ports in the Azores, situated centrally on the islands. This map provides a glimpse into the early colonial era of Portugal and its expansionist ambitions.
