I expose a photo of me a poster of the famous map of Madrid. By extending it looks a little blurry but enough to see its most notable features. In 1656 the Portuguese cartographer in the service of the English monarchy, Pedro Teixeira, developed Madrid plane which is still admirable. 350 years separated these two planes. Unless some changes and urban developments such as the Gran Via, in 1910, the Puerta del Sol in Madrid Elizabethan, the delimitation of the contours: the boulevards in the north, south rounds, Bailen Street West (the Prado is now delimited) or the reform of the Plaza de Oriente, the streets are very similar to today. Recessed or extensions thereof or the disappearance of some monasteries, both maps have many similarities. Look at the Plaza Mayor, barley, and so on and see how the sites are identical. For those unfamiliar with Madrid that this map will encourage them to do so.
recommend two very interesting books on the subject:
GEA, Isabel. Guide plane Teixeira (1656). Ediciones La LibrerÃa, Madrid, 2007.
With increases of the map, we outlined the main buildings of the same. We can see how well they were for example, The House of Seven Chimneys, still existing, as amended, or the Convent de Recoletos, disappeared.
Complementing the earlier book, another equally outstanding:
APARISI LAPORTA, Luis Miguel. Teixeira The plane of three hundred and fifty years after . Madrid City Council, Planning Department.
This book is very interesting because it increases the level and compares it to the Google Earth aerial photograph. A joyade book.
Madrid in 1650. Plano
Pedro de Teixeira.
Madrid in the XXI century, scale 1:50.000. National Topographic Map.
Public a simple entry due to my absence from long ago. I hope to later entries again longer and more elaborate, but time is scarce me these days. Greetings and apologies to the dear readers of this blog.
