The Plano de Almería of 1927 offers a remarkable window into the urban landscape of this Andalusian port city during a period of transformation and modernization in early 20th-century Spain. Produced with characteristic precision and clarity, this map reflects the evolving identity of Almería—a city balancing its Moorish heritage, maritime importance, and growing modern infrastructure.

The map delineates the city’s key features with great detail: the historic center clustered around the Alcazaba fortress, the Cathedral of Almería built in fortress style, and the expanding grid of new streets that extended toward the harbor and railway lines. The Port of Almería, one of the most vital points of economic activity, is prominently depicted, highlighting the city’s role as a link between southern Spain, North Africa, and the wider Mediterranean world.

Public institutions, markets, plazas, and parks are carefully marked, reflecting both civic pride and urban ambition. The map also reveals the development of transport infrastructure—rail connections, tram routes, and coastal roads—that would shape Almería’s growth throughout the 20th century.

Created at a time when Spain’s Instituto Geográfico y Estadístico and municipal authorities were producing increasingly accurate urban plans, this 1927 Plano de Almería stands as both a technical achievement and a cultural artifact. It captures the city in a moment of transition—preserving the character of its historic quarters while documenting the expansion that would define its modern identity.
