Maps of Barcelona

Antique Maps of Barcelona

Original maps and plans of Barcelona from 1707 to 1810, engraved mainly by Pieter van der Aa: successive views of the fort of Montjuïc, the general plan of the city with Mont Iouy and the Mole, and Laborde's plan of the monastery and hermitages of Montserrat.

These plans, drawn during the sieges of the War of the Spanish Succession, are sought by collectors of Catalan history and by anyone wanting an early view of Barcelona's fortifications, and unusual in offering several views of the same coastline from a single publisher within a few years. Every map is an original of its time, with a technical sheet and precise measurements.
