EDITORS COMMENTS

The map depicts the bustling city in the 17th century, showcasing key landmarks such as the Fort of St Juan with ships at anchor, the Custom house with a train of pack mules, and a horseman arriving on the road from Mexico City.
Vera Cruz was a vital link between Spain and Mexico during this time period, serving as a hub for trade and commerce. The modern city we know today dates back to around 1599, but its roots can be traced back to Cortez's arrival over four centuries ago.
