The city is depicted as a densely built and carefully organized settlement enclosed by a system of fortifications, including walls, bastions, and gates. These defensive features are prominently rendered, emphasizing Milan’s strategic importance in northern Italy, particularly under Spanish and later Austrian influence during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"1465\"\u003eA defining feature of the map is the geometric clarity of the street network, which radiates outward from central nodes.
