A contemporary view of Petrina in present day Croatia. That on the left side is a bird's eye view of the fortress and on the right side is a plan of it following the removal of the Turks in 1594 by the Habsburgs. The new fortifications are described as being due to the work of Italian architect Cesare Porta. The 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum' was compiled by George Braun (1541-1622) the Canon of Cologne Cathedral. Braun produced a total of over 500 city views and maps published in six parts between 1572 and 1617. Most of the engraving was the work of Simon Novellanus and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590), many after drawings by George Hoefnagel. It was first published in the very rare sixth volume in 1617 with Latin text, this example is from the German text edition of 1618. Fauser, A. (1978) 10840; Koeman II B & H 6 no. 36.
