This is a wonderful bird's-eye plan/view of the oldest city in Sweden.

Visby, the largest city on the island of Gotland was an important Viking city and the main centre of the Hanseatic League in the Baltic from the 12th-14th century. The characteristic ringwall (Ringmuren) and protected harbour are well depicted. A key at bottom provides the locations of the major buildings. Rare original map of the 16th century - professionally framed.
