Map your way around

While searching the internet for several types of images I could use to build backgrounds for my webpage I came across some old maps, and I couldn't help using them, and showing them off here.
Lisbon, the Lusitanian capital:

We can compare it with the city right next to it, Cascais around the same time and see that nothing was changed ;)

Now I present the city that currently is hosting me, Heidelberg:

One great little city with interesting history. It has been destroyed in every local war since it's funding, but still interesting and vibrant.
Of course there are other interesting cities aroudn Germany, I confess that I like Munique a lot:
And I would also like to present old Portuguese colonies such as Goa and Mozambique:

These pictures and more I found them on the The Hebrew University of Jerusalem & the Jewish national & University Library website. Pretty interesting things you can find when "browsing" around...
