This is an 1836 Jacques-Vital Belmas city plan or map of Pamplona, Spain, during the 1813 Siege of Pamplona, one of the battles in the larger Peninsular War (1808 - 1814). The besieged French forces managed to hold out for over four months, delaying Wellington's advance into France, since he refused to move into France until after Pamplona had fallen. The result of meticulous military surveys, this is one of the best large-format maps of Pamplona to appear in the early 19th century. (more details)
