Show moreThis detailed bird's-eye plan was one of the most popular plans of Jerusalem with 36 important locations identified by name through a key index, including what is now Temple Mount (upper center) and the walls and gates of what is now the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel. Biblical scenes include the crucifixion at Golgotha (Calvary, bottom left) and King Solomon's anointment at Berch Gihon (bottom right). This map was originally published in Amsterdam in 1665 by Claes Janszoon Visscher as part of a Dutch bible. The name translates to "the holy and expanded city of Jerusalem, first known as Salem." While it is an imaginary plan, it provides great detail of the city walls and streets with a numbered key to important religious sites. Solomon's Temple is at upper center and Herod's Palace is located at the far left. This is the second state adding biblical scenes on the hillsides in the foreground. The elder's mark (an old fisherman) can be seen top left of the map key. Bird's eye view. Relief shown pictorially. Copperplate engraving ; "C.J. Visscher, excud."--Bottom right.

Shows Solomon's temple, Palace of Herod, Golgotha with scene of the crucificion, Mount Gihon, scene of the annoiting of Solomon as King by Zadok the Priest.
