About the Item

An original old map of the province of Segovia from the year 1902. Segovia is a historic area located in the central part of Spain, northwest of Madrid. Known for its rich history, architectural landmarks, and strategic importance throughout the centuries, Segovia is home to several notable sites. One of the most renowned is the Roman Aqueduct of Segovia, one of the best-preserved elevated Roman aqueducts and a symbol of the city. Additionally, the province is characterized by a varied landscape that includes parts of the Guadarrama mountain range and the Duratón River. The map would have been used for navigation and administrative purposes, showing not only geographical features but also infrastructural elements such as roads, railways, and the boundaries of municipalities. More about Segovia: Segovia is a province full of historical and cultural wealth, located within the autonomous community of Castile and León in Spain. Here are some additional details and highlights: 1. **Roman Aqueduct**: Perhaps the most iconic landmark of Segovia is the Roman Aqueduct, which dates back to the late 1st or early 2nd century AD. This engineering marvel was used to transport water from the Frío River to the city and is a testament to the advanced engineering skills of the Romans. 2. **Alcázar of Segovia**: The Alcázar is a medieval castle situated on a rocky crag above the confluence of two rivers near the Guadarrama mountains. It is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape – like the bow of a ship. The Alcázar was originally built as a fortress but has served as a royal palace, a state prison, and a military academy over the centuries. 3. **Segovia Cathedral**: Known as the "Lady of the Cathedrals," it is a superb example of Gothic architecture and is located in the main square of the city, the Plaza Mayor. It was built in the mid-16th century and is noted for its size and the beauty of its interior. 4. **Cuisine**: Segovia is renowned for its traditional dishes, especially roasted suckling pig (cochinillo asado), which is a culinary staple and a must-try for visitors. The province is also known for its delicious lamb dishes and judiones de La Granja, a type of large white bean served as a stew. 5. **La Granja de San Ildefonso**: This royal palace and gardens are located in the town of San Ildefonso and are often referred to as the Versailles of Spain. The palace was the summer residence of the Spanish monarchs, and the gardens are famous for their fountains and sculpted hedges. 6. **Cultural Heritage**: The old city of Segovia and its Aqueduct have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The city's layout is a testament to its Roman and medieval past. 7. **Natural Landscapes**: Beyond the city, the province offers a variety of landscapes, from the peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama to the rolling plains. It provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing in the nearby ski resorts, and bird watching in natural parks. 8. **Festivals and Traditions**: Segovia has a rich calendar of festivals, including religious processions during Semana Santa (Holy Week) and other celebrations that showcase its folklore and traditions. These characteristics define Segovia as a place where history and tradition are palpable in every corner, offering a rich experience to those interested in exploring Spain's cultural and natural heritage.

Large Spain Castilla Robert De Vaugondy 1751 1st Edition -Colored- Ric.a001 Coming from a family of cartographers, a descendant of the famous Nicolas Sanson and ordinary geographer of the king, Gilles Robert de Vaugondy makes himself known by his maps of the French provinces. He published an Essay on the History of Geography (1755) from which he excluded the physical geography "too systematic". After a Small Atlas (1748), he draws a universal Atlas (1758), a portable Atlas (1762). His Atlas of the revolutions of the globe remains unpublished. His warnings and prefaces, his book reviews reveal a Cartesian mind and solid knowledge. Very early, he associates with his works his son Didier who publishes, since 1742, the methodical tables of Nicolas Sanson, two Globes, one terrestrial, the other celestial (1752). He is credited with a map of Poland...
