Matthäus Merian's 1688 map of Ferrara, Italy, stands as a meticulous and precise representation of the city during that era. The map is oriented with the north at the top and intricately showcases Ferrara enclosed within its fortified walls and moat. The city is further subdivided into distinct districts, with key landmarks prominently labeled, including the Castle Estense, the Cathedral of San Giorgio, and the Town Hall. Additionally, the map features the river Po, which gracefully courses through the city.

Merian's map holds significant historical value, offering a precious snapshot of Ferrara in the late 17th century. Furthermore, it serves as an exquisite example of cartographic artistry from this particular period.

The map is part of Merian's larger work, "Topographia Italiae," a multi-volume publication that provides insights into the geography, history, and culture of Italy.

Merian's map of Ferrara holds great significance for historians, cartographers, and anyone with an interest in the city's history. Copies of this map are available for purchase from various online and physical booksellers, making it accessible to those who seek to explore its historical and artistic value.
