Cadastre of Solin and Surrounding Area in 1831

Abstract

A map is always interesting and attracts observers. Old maps are especially interesting because of colours, rich cartouches, vignettes, compass roses and other details. Their authors attempted to make them as accurate and attractive as possible. Gradually, special maps appeared. They were often not very attractive, but make up for it with their content. In any case, one is probably going to want to inspect a map in more detail. As inscriptions and documents tell tales of times they were produced in,maps tell us about represented space. The older a map is, it is more interesting because it often reveals forgotten toponyms, lost settlements, old fortresses, churches, etc.
