This intricate plan of fortified Lima appeared in Antonio de Ulloa and Jorge Juan's Relacion Historica del Viaje a la America Meridional..., a seminal work on South American geography, culture, and history written by the two scientists after nearly a decade spent exploring the continent. A birds-eye view choked with detail, the plan includes a key split between two decorative cartouches that lists 70 notable locations within the city.
