The antique map created in 1665 and titled ‘Vtrivsque Castiliae nova descriptio’ depicts Spain in the early 17th Century. Translated from Latin, the title means ‘New description of both Castiles’. The map showcases the central regions of Spain, with Madrid, Toledo, and Guadalajara located centrally. Bordering Portugal is also visible on the map. Spain during this period was a dominant European power, with a global empire stretching across the Americas and parts of Asia. The country was ruled by the Habsburg dynasty, and this map provides a glimpse into the political and geographical landscape of Spain during that time.
