About the Item
The original antique map displays the province of Cuenca, located in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain, as of 1901. Here are some of its features:
It illustrates the varied terrain, including parts of the Serranía de Cuenca mountain range, with contour lines showing elevation changes. Blue lines represent rivers, likely including the Júcar and Huécar rivers, which are significant in the region. Red lines trace the network of roads and railways, highlighting the connections between towns within the province and to other regions. Various symbols denote the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with the capital city, also named Cuenca, indicated. Dotted lines might indicate the provincial boundaries within Castilla-La Mancha. The map includes a legend (Signos Convencionales) explaining the symbols for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and boundaries.
The coat of arms of Cuenca is featured, with a castle and a chalice, which are emblematic of the province's heraldic tradition.
About the province of Cuenca:
Cuenca is known for its remarkable natural landscapes, including the Serranía de Cuenca and the Ciudad Encantada (Enchanted City), a site with unique rock formations. The province's capital, Cuenca, is famous for its "hanging houses" (Casas Colgadas) that perch precariously on cliffs above the Huécar gorge and for its well-preserved medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The economy of the province has traditionally been based on agriculture, forestry, and handicrafts, but tourism has grown in importance due to the region's cultural and natural attractions. Cuenca is also celebrated for its religious festivals, such as Semana Santa (Holy Week), and its rich cultural heritage, including ancient Roman and Moorish sites.
