Zaragoza 1911 Map Framed Print

This 1911 plan of Zaragoza captures the Spanish city at a particularly interesting moment—the historic center packed tightly along the Río Ebro, rail lines converging from seemingly every direction, and newer neighborhoods beginning to push beyond the old city. It’s both a practical document of the Zaragoza that existed and a glimpse of the city it was becoming.

Printed with the muted colors and intricate detail of the original map, the piece rewards a closer look—street grids, railway yards, bridges, parks, and all the tiny cartographic decisions someone painstakingly made more than a century ago.

The generous white mat gives the map room to breathe and turns what was once a municipal document into a handsome piece of graphic history. It works particularly well for anyone who knows Zaragoza, loves Spain, collects old maps, or simply appreciates the peculiar beauty of cities flattened onto paper.

And unlike the original, you’re allowed to hang this one in your living room.
