Created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg in the late 16th century, this coloured engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the cities of Poznan and Gruczno during that time. The intricate details captured in this map transport us back to an era when drawbridges guarded city entrances, moats encircled fortified walls, and bustling streets teemed with life.
