This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Episcopatus Balbastrensis…’ which translates to ‘Bishopric of Barbastro’. The map depicts the region of Spain known as Barbastro in the early 17th century. This area is located centrally in Spain, bordered by France to the north and various other regions of Spain to the south, east and west. During this time, Spain was ruled by the Habsburg dynasty and was a dominant power in Europe, with a strong economy and a vast overseas empire. The map may show various towns, villages, and natural features of the region, and could provide insight into the political and social landscape of this area during this time.
