About the Item
The image is a historical map of Extremadura, an autonomous community of Spain, from an unspecified year. The map features the region's topography, including mountain ranges, river systems, and road networks. Extremadura is bordered by Portugal to the west and is situated to the southwest of Madrid. The map also includes the coat of arms of Lisbon (Lisboa), possibly indicating the historical connections between the two regions, as Lisbon is close to the border of Extremadura.

3. **Cultural Heritage**: UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Old Town of Cáceres and the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida are located here.
4. **Agriculture**: The region is also known for its agriculture, particularly for the production of cherries in the Jerte Valley and paprika in La Vera.
