First street wall map of Europe (1520)

A rare feature can be discovered in the Armoury Museum. The first street wall map of Europe gives an overview of the network from 1520. The German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller designed it in the Renaissance period. He was also the person who drew the first map of the world.
