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. Extremadura is known for its: 1. **Natural Landscapes**: The region has diverse landscapes, including the mountainous areas in the north and the fertile plains (known as the dehesa) used for grazing pigs, which produce the famous Iberian ham. 2. **Historical Significance**: Extremadura was the birthplace of many famous conquistadors, such as Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro. The region's towns and cities, like Mérida and Cáceres, have impressive Roman and medieval architecture. 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. 5. **Monfragüe National Park**: A renowned birdwatching destination with a significant population of birds of prey. 6. **Guadalupe Monastery**: The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe is another World Heritage Site and a significant pilgrimage destination.
