This Merian's map image was first published in 1690 in the work of L. Gottfridt "Archonotologia Cosmica". The same as the map representing the hinterland of Šibenik, the map of Dubrovnik's hinterland is drawn from a semi perspective view. The town of Dubrovnik is featured very precisely with its fortresses and the cathedral that can be easily recognized. To the east of Dubrovnik are shown Cavtat place and the entire Gulf of Bocche di Cattaro with places Novi and Kotor. In the upper left corner is a separate box with a view of Dubrovnik. It represents Dubrovnik during the earthquake of 1667 that was very destructive. The picture of the town in flames isn't however quite realistic.
