A remarkably well drawn town view of Hvar, on which is easy to recognize almost any of its houses. In the foreground is shown the port of Hvar with the palaces on the seaboard. On top of a hill is a castle (Il Castello), with suburbs at its foot surrounded by walls and towers. Outside walls two new town nuclei developed. One situated to the west next to the church of Saint Marc, and the other along the town port and around the square shown with charming detail. A bit farther from the center can be discerned gardens and orchards of the citizens of Hvar. The title of the map is below the lower margin edge.
