Description
This is a view of Orvieto from the southwest, showing the distinctive city rock and characteristic dunastic towers. The magnificent façade of the cathedral of Santa Maria is easily recognizable on the right. Its construction was begun in 1290 following the Miracle of Bolsena (1293), in which blood dripped out of a consecrated host during transubstantiation.
Among other things, this miracle gave rise to the feast of Corpus Christi. Orvieto probably developed out of the Etruscan city of Velzna, which was captured by the Romans in 264 BC. They subsequently called it Urbs vetus ("Old City"), which then became Orivetum, and Orvieto.
Braun says of Loreto: "Loreto is renowned throughout the Christian world as a place of pilgrimage, it lies on the hill dedicated to Our Lady of Loreto, and is surrounded by mighty walls that contain a village inhabited by no more than innkeepers, hostlers and tavern servants of all kinds - with the exception of those who come here daily from all over Europe, especially in spring and autumn, to fulfil their vow. The entire sanctuary is so well protected by thick walls and all possible weapons that it is capable not only of defending itself but also, for instance, of counter attacking, for example by firing guns, so that it will never again be plundered and destroyed by pirates, as once by the Turks."
Loreto is shown from the southwest. Inside the imposing town walls there are a few houses grouped around the basilica. Here stands the Santa Casa, the Holy House, which is said to have been brought to Loreto from Nazareth by angels in the years 1294. It is believed to be the house in which Mary was born and in which the Annunciation by the angel took place. Loreto is still an important place of pilgrimage today.
From the magnificent and famous work Civitates Orbis Terrarum.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
